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.
