  1. Answer:

    We have,

    Milk in vessel A = 5/7,

    Water in vessel A = 2/7,

    Milk in vessel B = 2/5 and

    Water in vessel B = 3/5.

    Let x litres of mixture in A is mixed with y litres of mixture in B.

    7

    5x

    +

    5

    2y

    =

    7

    2x

    +

    5

    3y

    or,

    7

    3x

    =

    5

    y

    or, x/y = 7/15.

    Hence, (E) is the correct answer.
