is it 5:1 or 5:6

Question:
Two liquids are in the ratio 5 : 1 in container A and 1 : 3 in container B. In what ratio should the contents of the two containers be mixed so as to obtain a mixture of liquid in the ratio 1 : 1?
Options:
A) 2 : 3
B) 4 : 3
C) 3 : 2
D) 3 : 4
Solution:
\(\frac{5}{6}\)                 \(\frac{1}{4}\)

  \(\searrow\)           \(\swarrow\)

       \(\frac{1}{2}\)

  \(\swarrow\)           \(\searrow\)

\(\frac{1}{4}\)                 \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Hence, Required ratio = \(\frac{1}{4}\) : \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 3:4
