1. 613:387
2. 15:12
3. 72:24
4. 387:613

Answer: D

Explanation

Total solution quantity 57+43 = 100

Out of 100 we are removing 10 liter (i.e. 10%)

so proportionately from honey we will remove = remove 5.7

& proportionately from water we will remove 10% remove = 4.3

Also, we add 10 liter pure honey

So now honey 57-5.7+10 = 61.3

& Water 43-4.3 = 38.7

water: Honey = 38.7 : 61.3 = 387:613
