    C 250 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 330 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, In A: milk 4x ml, water 1x ml. In B: milk 6y ml, water 7y ml. Total = 0.705 L = 705 ml Milk in 705 ml = (82/141) × 705 = 410 ml Water in 705 ml = 705 – 410 = 295 ml Thus, 4x + 6y = 410 x + 7y = 295 Solving ⇒ x = 50, y = 35 Quantity of mixture B = y × (6+7) = 35 × 13 = 455 ml
