The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

Then correct answer is C: \(1\ratio1\)
Let's break down the steps and calculate the amount of milk and water in each container after each transfer: 
Initially: 
Glass: 500cc milk, 0cc water 
Cup: 0cc milk, 500cc water 
After transferring 150cc of milk from the glass to the cup: 
Glass: 500cc-150cc=350cc milk, 0 cc water 
Cup: 150cc milk, 500cc water 
After transferring 150cc of the mixture from the cup back to the glass: 
Glass: 350cc+150cc=500cc milk, 0cc water 
Cup: 150cc-150cc=0cc milk,500cc water 
Now let's calculate the ratios: 
Amount of water in the glass to amount of milk in the cup: 
\(500cc\space{water}\ratio0cc\space{milk}\)=Infinity(Since we cannot have a ratio of 0 in the denominator) 
Amount of milk in the glass to amount of water in the cup: 
\(500 cc \space{milk}\ratio500 cc\space{ water} = 1\ratio1\)

Approach Solution -2

Initially, there is 500cc of milk in a glass and 500cc of water in a cup.
Step 1: 150cc of milk is moved from the glass to the cup.
Now,
Glass - 350 cc milk
Cup - 150 cc milk and 500 cc water
Step 2: 150 cc of this mixture is transferred from the cup to the glass.
Now, Glass - 350 cc milk + 150 cc mixture with milk : water ratio 3:10
Cup - 500 cc mixture with milk : water ratio 3:10
Water in glass : milk in cup = 4 x 150 : 3 x 500 = 1:1

So, the answer is option (C): \(1:1\)
