[su_spoiler title="Answer & Solutions" style="fancy" icon="arrow-circle-1"]
Option: 2
Explanation: In first vessel the amount of water is 2 * ¼ = ½ the amount of milk is 2* ¾ = 3/2
In second vessel the amount of water is 3 * 2/5 = 6/5 the amount of milk is 3 * 3/5 = 9 /5
In third vessel the amount of water is 5 * 2/7 = 10 /7 the amount nof milk is 5 * 5/7 = 25 /7
Water in total= ½ +6/5 + 10/7
Milk in total = 3/2 + 9/5 +25/7
The ratio of milk and water is= 3/2 + 9/5 + 25/7 : ½ + 6/5 + 10/7
= 481 : 219
