    C 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of milk in 150 ml of mixture A = 7/10 × 150 = 105 ml
    Quantity of water in 150 ml of mixture A = 3/10 × 150 = 45 ml
    Quantity of milk in 150 ml of mixture B = 1/5 × 150 = 30 ml
    Quantity of water in 150 ml of mixture B = 4/5 × 150 = 120 ml
    Desired Ratio = (105 + 30):(45 + 120) = 135:165 = 9:11
