A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 25 % acid, the second contains 40% and the third contains 60 %. They want to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 96 liters containing 50 % acid, using 3 times as much of the 60 % solution as the 40 % solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
