A blended fruit drink contains only water and 100 percent juice. What is the ratio of the number of milliliters of 100 percent fruit juice to the number of milliliters of water in the blended fruit drink?

Exactly 75 milliliters of water is in 100 milliliters of the fruit drink.
Exactly 125 milliliters of 100 percent juice is contained in 500 milliliters of the fruit drink.

Blend = water + Juice
juice/water = ??

Blend = 100
Water = 75
Hence juice = 25
ratio = 1/3
SUFF

Blend = 500
Juice = 125
Water = 375
ratio = 1/3
SUFF

D
In this case as 1 and 2 give same type of info in 2 ways either it should be D or E
In this case imo D
as we have
portion(x)/total ----we can find y=total-x
portion(y)/total----we can find x=total-y
and ratio as well
