A tank of 100 liters is filled with kerosene. Ram replaces 10% of kerosene with water and repeats this procedure 4 times. What is the amount of kerosene left in the tank?

  • A.60 liters
  • B.65.61 liters
  • C.70 liters
  • D.65 liters

Answer: B

As Ram replaces 10% of kerosene with water, the amount of kerosene left is 90%.

As the replacement is done four times,

After 1st replacement, kerosene left is : 0.9 × 100 = 90 liters

After 2nd replacement, kerosene left is : 0.9 × 90 = 81 liters

After 3rd replacement, kerosene left is : 0.9 × 81 = 72.9 liters

After 4th replacement, kerosene left is : 0.9 × 72.9 = 65.61 liters
