Solution(By Apex Team)
Proportion of milk in 3 samples is $\Large\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{5},\frac{5}{8}$
Proportion of water in 3 samples is $\Large\frac{1}{3},\frac{3}{5},\frac{3}{8}$
Total proportion in milk = $\Large\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{227}{120}$
Total proportion in water = $\Large\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{133}{120}$
Required proportion $=227 : 133$
