1. The ratio of milk and water in mixture of four containers are 5 : 3, 2 : 1, 3 : 2 and 7 : 4 respectively. In which container is the quantity of milk, relative to water, minimum ?

A. First

B. Second

C. Third

D. Forth

Solution:

∴According to the question,
Container :

\begin{aligned} I II III IV \\ M : W M : W M : W M : W \\ 5 : 3 2 : 1 3 : 2 7 : 4 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} C o n t a i n e r (I) : \\ \frac{Milk}{Water} = \frac{5}{3} = 1.67 \\ C o n t a i n e r (II) : \\ \frac{Milk}{Water} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \\ C o n t a i n e r (III) : \\ \frac{Milk}{Water} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \\ C o n t a i n e r (IV) : \\ \frac{Milk}{Water} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \end{aligned}

∴ The quantity of milk relative to water minimum in container third
