- A. 106:69
If 2 gallons are taken from A, the quantity of milk & water=2*5/7:2*2/7=10/7:4/7
If 3 gallons are taken from B,the quantity of milk & water=3*8/15:3*7/15=8/5:7/5
Now in the new mixture qtantity of milk 10/7+8/5=106/35 & water 4/7+7/5=69/35
Therefore ratio of milk:water=106/35:69/35=106:69
