    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity of honey in 348 ml of mixture = (17/29) × 348 = 204 ml

    Quantity of water in 348 ml of mixture = 348 – 204 = 144 ml

    Quantity of honey in 152 ml of mixture = (12/19) × 152 = 96 ml

    Quantity of water in 152 ml of mixture = 152 – 96 = 56 ml

    Desired ratio = (204 + 96):(144 + 56) = 300:200 = 3:2
