A dishonest delivery man purchases 20 liters of pure milk and dilutes it by adding 4 liters of water. If he sells the diluted milk at Rs.50/L, then what is the cost price of pure milk?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Total volume sold =24= 24 L at Rs.50/L == Rs.1200. Assuming the dishonest seller recovers exactly the cost (no extra profit/loss is stated), this Rs.1200 equals the cost of 20 L of pure milk. So cost per litre =1200/20== 1200/20 = Rs.60/L.
