- Start with a 50-litre mixture with a juice to water ratio of 3:2. This means 30 litres of juice and 20 litres of water.

- Add 60 litres of another mixture with a juice to water ratio of 2:1, resulting in 40 litres of juice and 20 litres of water.

- Total juice becomes 30 + 40 = 70 litres, and total water becomes 20 + 20 = 40 litres in 110 litres of mixture.

- Replace 11 litres of this mixture with pure juice. This means removing 7 litres of juice and 4 litres of water, and adding 11 litres of juice.

- Final amount: Juice = 70 - 7 + 11 = 74 litres; Water = 40 - 4 = 36 litres.

- Calculate the final ratio of water to juice: 36:74, which simplifies to 18:37.

- Check against options:

- Option 4) 18:37 matches the calculation.
