Correct Answer: 91 : 41
Solution : Given: Ratio of milk and water in 1st vessel = 5 :1 The ratio of milk and water in 2nd vessel = 6 : 5 Let both the vessels have $x$ litres of mixtures. Total quantity of milk = $\frac{5x}{6}+ \frac{6x}{11}=\frac{91x}{66}$ Total quantity of water = $\frac{x}{6}+\frac{5x}{11}=\frac{41x}{66}$ Required ratio = $\frac{91x}{66}:\frac{41x}{66}= 91 : 41$ Hence, the correct answer is 91 : 41.
