      Solution

      ATQ;

      Let quantity of milk and honey in mixture P and Q is 7x ml and 5x ml and 8y ml and 9y ml respectively.

      Quantity of milk in 840 ml of mixture = 37/70 × 840 = 444 ml

      Quantity of Honey in 840 ml of mixture = 840 – 444 = 396 ml

      So, 7x + 8y = 444

      And, 5x + 9y = 396

      Solving above equations we get;

      x = 36 and y = 24

      So, quantity of mixture Q = 24 × 17 = 408 ml
