Question:

A container contains 25 litre of milk. From this container, 5 litre of milk is taken out and replaced by water. This process is further repeated two times. How much milk is there in the container now?

Options:

11.5 litre

14.8 litre

13.5 litre

12.8 litre

Correct Answer:

12.8 litre

Explanation:

According to the question,

Fraction of milk removed = \(\frac{5}{25}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\),

Now the quantity of milk left in the container

= 25(1 - \(\frac{1}{5}\))3

= 25 × \(\frac{4}{5}\) × \(\frac{4}{5}\) × \(\frac{4}{5}\)

= 12.8 litres.

Therefore 12.8 litres of milk is left.
