Question : Three glasses of equal volumes contain acid mixed with water. The ratios of acid to water are 2 : 3, 3 : 4, and 4 : 5, respectively. The contents of these glasses are poured into a large vessel. The ratio of acid to water in the large vessel is:
Option 1: 411 : 540
Option 2: 401 : 544
Option 3: 417 : 564
