    Mixture 'A' contains milk and water in the ratio of

    5:9, respectively, while Mixture 'B' consists of water and milk in the ratio of 11:14, respectively. The task is to determine the ratio in which these two mixtures must be combined so that the resulting mixture has an equal amount of milk and water.
    A 14:25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 21:50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18:55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Proportion of milk in mixture 'A' = 5 ÷ (5 + 9) = (5/14) Proportion of milk in mixture 'B' = 14 ÷ (11 + 14) = (14/25) Proportion of milk in resultant mixture = 1 ÷ (1 + 1) = (1/2) Using alligation rule, So, required ratio = (3/50):(1/7) = 21:50
