Correct Answer: 3 : 5


Solution : Given: Price of milk = Rs. 48 per litre
Price of mixture = Rs. 30 per litre
Price of Water = Rs. 0 per litre
By using the rule of alligation

Milk = 30 – 0 = 30
Water = 48 – 30 = 18
The ratio of water and milk is 18 : 30 = 3 : 5
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 5.
