A. 3 : 5

B. 5 : 2

C. 5 : 7

D. 2 :7

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Milk in 1 litre mix. in A = $$\frac{8}{{13}}$$
Milk in 1 litre mix. in B = $$\frac{5}{{7}}$$
Milk in 1 litre of final mix. = $$\frac{{900}}{{13}} \times \frac{1}{{100}} \times 1 = \frac{9}{{13}}$$

By the rule of alligation, we have :
