Q:

A container contains 50 litres of milk. From that 8 litres of milk was taken out and replaced by water. This process was repeated further two times. How much milk is now contained by the container ?

A) 24.52 litres	B) 29.63 litres
C) 28.21 litres	D) 25.14 litres

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 29.63 litres

Explanation:

Given that container has 50 litres of milk.

After replacing 8 litres of milk with water for three times, milk contained in the container is:

$\Rightarrow [50 {(1 - \frac{8}{50})}^{3}]$

$\Rightarrow (50 \times \frac{42}{50} \times \frac{42}{50} \times \frac{42}{50})$ = 29.63 litres.
