Q:

Milk and water are mixed in a vessel A as 4:1 and in vessel B as 3:2. For vessel C, if one takes equal quantities from A and B, find the ratio of milk to water in C.

A) 1:9	B) 9:1
C) 3:7	D) 7:3

Answer & 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

=> $\frac{\frac{3}{5} - x}{x - \frac{4}{5}}$ = $\frac{1}{1}$ (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
