Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 111 : 45

CALCULATION:

Let the mixture in A and B be A liters and B liters respectively

A.T.Q

A + B = 1560      ----(1)

A/7 + 5B/7 = 480

A + 5B = 3360      ----(2)

From (2) - (1) we get,

4B = 1800 

B = 450 liters

A = 1560 - 450 = 1110 liters

required ratio = 111 : 45
