In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 2 : 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 4 : 5. Find the capacity of the can?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 40  B) 44  C) 48  D) 50  E) 8
Let the capacity of the can be T litres.   Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 2/7 (T - 8)   After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 4/9 T.   4T/9 - 8 = 2/7(T - 8)   2T = 72 - 56 =&gt; T = 8.   Answer:8
