    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity of milk in solution 'C' = 150 × (3/5) = 90 litres

    Quantity of water in solution 'C' = 150 - 90 = 60 litres

    Quantity of milk in solution 'D' = 350 × (7/10) = 245 litres

    Quantity of water in solution 'D' = 350 - 245 = 105 litres

    Therefore, required ratio = (90 + 245) : (60 + 105) = 335 : 165 = 67 : 33
