Solution

The correct option is D 4, 22

Quantity of milk in the first container = 120

Quantity of milk in the second container = 12

Applying Alligation:

So, mixture should be taken out from the containers in the ratio = 2: 11

Total amount of mixture required = 26 litres. So, quantity required from 1st container = 4 litres and from the second container = 22 litres.

Hence option (d)
