Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Milk in 1-litre mixture of A = 4/7 litre. Milk in 1-litre mixture of B = 2/5 litre. Milk in 1-litre mixture of C = 1/2 litre. By rule of alligation we have required ratio X:Y X : Y 4/7 2/5 \ / (Mean ratio) (1/2) / \ (1/2 – 2/5) : (4/7 – 1/2) 1/10 1/1 4 So Required ratio = X : Y = 1/10 : 1/14 = 7:5
