Options:
A) 34.24 kg
B) 39.64 kg

D) 47.60 kg
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Given, pure milk in container $ =60L $
By replacing $ \frac{1}{10} $ part by water,
Remaining milk $ =60-\frac{1}{10}\times 60=54L $
Again, replacing $ \frac{1}{10} $ part by water,
Remaining-milk $ =54-\frac{1}{10}\times 54=48.6L $
Again, replacing $ \frac{1}{10} $ part by water,
Remaining milk $ =48.6-\frac{1}{10}\times 48.6=43.74L $
Alternate Method
Given, $ x=60L, $ $ n=3, $ $ a=6 $
Amount of milk left $ =x{{( 1-\frac{a}{x} )}^{n}} $
$ =60{{( 1-\frac{6}{60} )}^{3}}=43.74L $
