C Correct answer
Explanation

Vipin: B = 6L, Total = 9L. %B = 6/9 = 2/3. Mohit: B = 15L, Total = 23L. %B = 15/23. Ratio = (2/3) / (15/23) = 2/3 * 23/15 = 46/45.

AI explanation

The first mixture contains a total of 9 litres, so the percentage of liquid B is 6 divided by 9, which equals 2/3. The second mixture contains a total of 23 litres, so the percentage of liquid B is 15 divided by 23, which equals 15/23. The ratio of these percentages is 2/3 divided by 15/23, which simplifies to 46 : 45.
