      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In Jar A, Ratio of milk and water = 4:3 Quantity of milk = X Γ— 4/7 = 4X/7 ml Quantity of water = X Γ— 3/7 = 3X/7 ml In Jar B, Ratio of milk and water = 5:1 Quantity of milk = X Γ— 5/6 = 5X/6 ml Quantity of water = X Γ— 1/6 = X/6 ml Now, in Jar C, Total quantity of milk = 4X/7 + 5X/6 = (24X + 35X)/42 = 59X/42 ml Total quantity of water = 3X/7 + X/6 = (18X + 7X)/42 = 25X/42 ml Therefore, required ratio of milk and water in Jar C = 59X/42 : 25X/42= 59:25
