Detailed Solution

Concep- This problem involves mixture alignment. We will first acquire the gain amount and combination cost price in order to solve this. The ratio of milk to water is then obtained by using the mixing and alignment rules.
Let C.P. of 1 liter milk be Re. 1 .
Question ImageS.P. of 1 liter of mixture = Re. 1 , Gain = 50 3 %.  
  C.P. of 1 liter of mixture = 100× 3 350 ×1 = 6 7  
By the rule of allegation, we have:
  Ratio of water and milk = 1 7 : 6 7 =1:6  
Hence, the answer is option 1.
