Correct Answer: 9 : 7
Solution :
Let the capacity of each vessel be 8 litres.
The ratio of juice and water in the first vessel = 3 : 5
So, the quantity of juice in the first vessel = 3 litres
The quantity of water in the first vessel = 5 litres
The ratio of juice and water in the second vessel = 3 : 1
So, the quantity of juice in the first vessel = 6 litres
The quantity of water in the first vessel = 2 litres
⇒ Juice to water in final mixture = $\frac{3+6}{5+2}$
⇒ Juice to water in final mixture = 9 : 7
Therefore, the ratio of juice to water in the new mixture is 9 : 7
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 7.
