Question

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?

Answer 1

first container 5:3

$milk \: = \frac{5}{8} \times 100 = 62.5$
$water = \frac{3}{8} \times 100 = 37.5$
2nd container 2:1

$milk = \frac{2}{3} \times 100 = 66.6$
$water = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33.3$
3rd container 3:2
$milk = \frac{3}{5} \times 100 = 60$
$water = \frac{2}{5} \times 100 = 40$
4th container 7:4
$milk = \frac{7}{11} \times 100 = 63$
$water = \frac{4}{11} \times 100 = 36$

3rd container contains minimum quantity of milk relative to water.
