A glass contains 500 cc of milk and a cup contains 500 cc of water. From the glass, 150 cc of milk is transferred to the cup and mixed thoroughly. Next, 150 cc of this mixture is transferred from the cup to the glass. Now, the amount of water in the glass and the amount of milk in the cup are in the ratio

Solution

Initially: a glass 500cc milk and a cup 500cc water

Step 1: 150 cc of milk is transferred to the cup from glass

After step 1: Glass - 350 cc milk, Cup - 150 cc milk and 500 cc water

Step 2: 150 cc of this mixture is transferred from the cup to the glass

After step 2: 

Glass - 350 cc milk + 150 cc mixture with milk:water ratio 3:10

Cup - 500 cc mixture with milk:water ratio 3:10

water in glass : milk in cup = $$\frac{10}{13}\times150\ :\ \frac{3}{13}\times500=1:1$$
