In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk the can would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the can?
Answer: B
Let the capacity of the can be T litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (T - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 T.
6T/11 - 8 = 4/9(T - 8)
10T = 792 - 352 => T = 44.
