    Solution

    ATQ,

    For case I: Honey in 315 ml mixture = (5/9) × 315 = 175 ml Water in 315 ml mixture = 315 – 175 = 140 ml Required ratio = (0.40 × 175 + 98) : (0.40 × 140 + 56) = 168 : 112 = 3 : 2 Therefore, option I is possible. For case II: Honey in 315 ml mixture = (3/5) × 315 = 189 ml Water in 315 ml mixture = 315 – 189 = 126 ml Required ratio = (0.40 × 189 + 57.4) : (0.40 × 126 + 56) = 133 : 106.4 = 5 : 4 Therefore, option II is possible. For case III: Honey in 315 ml mixture = (4/7) × 315 = 180 ml Water in 315 ml mixture = 315 – 180 = 135 ml Required ratio = (0.40 × 180 + 48) : (0.40 × 135 + 56) = 120 : 110 = 12 : 11 Therefore, option III is possible.
