Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1:7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Ratio of Water : Honey} = \frac{\text{Cost of Honey} - \text{Mean Cost}}{\text{Mean Cost} - \text{Cost of Water}} \) \( \text{Ratio of Water : Honey} = \frac{320 - 280}{280 - 0} \) \( \text{Ratio of Water : Honey} = \frac{40}{280} \)…
