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.
