Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- [a] Milk in 1st glass $ =\frac{1}{3} $
Water can be filled in 1st glass $ =\frac{2}{3} $
Water in 2nd glass $ =\frac{1}{4} $
Water can be filled in 2nd glass $ =\frac{3}{4} $
Required ratio $ =\frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{4+3}{8+9}=\frac{7}{17}=7:17 $
