Correct Answer: 1 : 2
Solution : Given: In the first vessel, the ratio of milk to water = 3 : 2 In the second vessel, the ratio of milk to water = 7 : 3 In the mixture vessel, the ratio of milk to water = 2 : 1 Milk in the first vessel = $\frac{3}{5}$ Milk in the second vessel = $\frac{7}{10}$ Milk in the mixture vessel = $\frac{2}{3}$ Required ratio = $ (\frac{7}{10}-\frac{2}{3}) : (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{3}{5}) =\frac{1}{30}: \frac{1}{15}=15:30 =1:2$ Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 2.
