    E 20:37 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of tea in 180 ml of mixture A = 4/9 × 180 = 80 ml
    Quantity of milk in 180 ml of mixture A = 5/9 × 180 = 100 ml
    Quantity of tea in 270 ml of mixture B = 2/9 × 270 = 60 ml
    Quantity of milk in 270 ml of mixture B = 7/9 × 270 = 210 ml
    Desired Ratio = (80 + 60):(100 + 210) = 140:310 = 14:31
