16/65

At every taking out of 1/3 of solution, the quantity remains 2/3 of the original
If original quantity of mixture=x, then after 4 successive taking out of 1/3 of mixture, Quantity of dettol remained=x*(2/3)(2/3)(2/3)(2/3)=16x/81 and remaining 65x/81 will be water
So ratio of Dettol to water= (16x/81)/ (65x/81)=16/65
