  1. A container is full of milk. One-third of milk is taken out of it and replaced by same quantity of water. Then again one-third of the mixture is taken out of it and replaced by the same quantity of water. The process is repeated 4 times. If 16 litres of milk is left in the container at the end of 4th operation, find the capacity of the container.
    1. 76 litres
    2. 81 litres
    3. 82 litres
    4. 85 litres
Correct Option: B

Let capacity of the container be P liter; then
P(1 – 1/3)4 = 16
⇒ P (2 / 3)4 = 16
⇒ P(16 / 81) = 16 liters
∴ P = 81 liters
