Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Capacity of container = 24 L

● Explaination -

Given that ratio of remaining milk to added water is 16/65.

Remaining milk / added water = 16/65

Let x be the capacity of container. Now, ratio of remaining milk to initial milk will be -

Remaining milk / initial milk = 16 / (16+65) = 16/81

In 4 attempts of adulteration,

16m = 81m (1-8/x)^4

16/81 = (1-8/x)^4

1 - 8/x = 2/3

1 - 2/3 = 8/x

x = 8 / (1/3)

x = 24 L

Therefore, capacity of the container must be 24 L.

Thanks dear...
