Answer : 4. "7:3"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 7:3 Explanation: Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1 Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2 Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5 Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5 Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B => 4/5 : 3/5 x 3/5-x x - 4/5 => 35-xx-45 = 11 (equal quantities) => x = 7/10 Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C = 7 => Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3 Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
