Simple interest is given by the formula SI = (pnr/100), where p is the principal, n is the numberof years for which it is invested, r is the rate of interest per annum

In this case, Rs. 1250 has become Rs.10,000.

Therefore, the interest earned = 10,000 – 1250 = 8750.

8750 = [(1250 x n x 12.5)/100]

=> n = 700 / 12.5 = 56 years.

Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
