    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity of milk in ‘P’ = (5/8) × 96 = 60 litres

    Quantity of water in ‘P’ = (3/8) × 96 = 36 litres

    Quantity of milk in ‘Q’ = (4/5) × 80 = 64 litres

    Quantity of water in ‘Q’ = (1/5) × 80 = 16 litres

    Required ratio = (60 + 64) : (36 + 16) = 124:52 = 31:13
