The ratio of milk and water in mixtures of four container are 5:3, 2:1, 3:2 and 7: 4 respectively. In which container is the quantity of milk, relative to water is minimum.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
i) M : W = 5 : 3 ⇒ Milk = \(\frac{5}{8}\) = 62.5%
ii) M : W = 2 : 1 ⇒ Milk = \(\frac{2}{3}\) = 66.66%
iii) M : W = 3 : 2 ⇒ Milk = \(\frac{3}{5}\) = 60%
iv) M : W = 7 : 4 ⇒ Milk = \(\frac{7}{11}\) = 63.63%
Therefore, container 3 has the minimum quantity of milk relative to water.
