Answer 2

The capacity of a container of milk is 48 litres. 7/12 of the container is filled with milk . If half of the milk is removed from the container, then amount of milk required to fill the container completely is

c)34 litres.

Given, the total capacity of the container is 48 L

Also, (7/12)th of the capacity of the container is filled with milk.

So, capacity of milk = (7/12) × (48) = 28 L

Next, half of the milk is removed from the container.

So, capacity of milk removed = (28/2) = 14L

So, capacity of milk still remaining in the container = (28-14)L = 14L.

To fill the full capacity of container amount of milk required = (Total capacity of container) - ( Capacity of milk present)

= (48 - 14) L

= 34 L

Thus, 34L of milk is required to fill the container, so option (c) is correct.
