From a drum filled with 48 litres of soya milk, 12 litres of soya milk was taken out and replaced by an equal amount of cow milk. The process was further repeated twice. How much soya milk is left in the drum now?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

After each replacement the fraction of soya milk left is 1−1248=341-\dfrac{12}{48} = \dfrac{3}{4}.

The operation is performed three times in all, so the remaining quantity is 48(34)3=48×276448\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^3 = 48\times\dfrac{27}{64}.

This equals 20.2520.25 litres.
