    C 5:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21:23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 35:37 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initially, amount of milk = (6/11) × 264 = 144 litres Amount of water = (5/11) × 264 = 120 litres 33 litres of mixture is replaced. Amount of milk replaced = 33 x (6/11) = 18 Amount of water replaced = 33 x (5/11) = 15 So, required ratio = (144 – 18):(144 – 15 + 33) = 126:138 = 21:23
