    Question

    Two equal glasses of same type are respectively 13\frac{1}{3}​and 14\frac{1}{4}​ full of milk. They are then filled up with water and the contents are mixed in a pot. What is the ratio of milk and water in the pot?

    A.

    7:17

    B.

    9:21

    C.

    1:3

    D.

    11:23

    Correct option is A

    Given
    Glass 1: Milk = 13\frac{1}{3}​ full

    Glass 2: Milk =14 \frac{1}{4}​ full

    Formula Used
    Total Milk = Milk in G1 + Milk in G2
    Total Water = (1 - Milk in G1) + (1 - Milk in G2)

    Solution
    Milk in G1 = 13\frac{1}{3}​, Water in G1 = 113=23 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}​​​

    Milk in G2 = 14\frac{1}{4}​, Water in G2 = 114=341 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}

    Total Milk = 13+14=712\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{12}

    ​Total Water = 23+34=1712\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{17}{12}​​

    Ratio Milk : Water = 7:17

    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (a)
