E Correct answer
Explanation

Container A has milk:water = 5:7, so in 37.5L: milk = 5/12 × 37.5 = 15.625L, water = 7/12 × 37.5 = 21.875L. Container B has milk:water = 5:1, so in 25L: milk = 5/6 × 25 = 20.833L, water = 1/6 × 25 = 4.167L. Total water in C = 21.875 + 4.167 = 26.042L. Total milk in C = 15.625 + 20.833 = 36.458L. Ratio water:milk = 26.042:36.458 = 5:7 (approximately 0.714). This ratio is not listed in options A-D, so E is correct.
