    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
