Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:Let the capacity of container be 70L (LCM of 5,7 & 10)
Now,
I container, milk = 28L
Water = 42L
II container, milk = 20L
Water = 50L
III container, milk = 21L
Water = 49L
In large container, milk = (28 + 20 + 21)
= 69L
Water = 42 + 50 + 49
= 141L
Milk : Water = 23 : 47
