Litres of cooking oil with the family = 5 litres
This is the initial reserve oil of the family.
The family consumes 1.25 litres of oil during the whole month in activities such as cooking and heating.
Thus the remaining oil with the family after all their consumption will be 5-1.25=3.75 litres
The remaining oil with family =3.75 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:
total oil = 5 ltr
used= 1 1/4 ltr= 1x4+1/4=5/4 ltr
Remaining = x ltr
Now,
Total - used=Remaining
5/1-5/4=x
LCM of 1 and 4 is 4
20-5/4=15/4 ltr
=3 3/4 ltr
