All the milk in container A which was filled to its brim was poured into two containers B and C. The quantity of milk in container B was 62.5% less than the capacity of container A. If 154 liters was now transferred from C to B, then both the containers would have equal quantities of milk. What was the initial quantity of milk in container A?	Choose one:	A) 1232	B) 1723	C) 1129	D) 2613	E) 1372
A   B has 62.5% or (5/8) of the milk in A. Therefore, let the quantity of milk in container A(initially) be 8k.   Quantity of milk in B = 8k - 5k = 3k.   Quantity of milk in container C 8  - 5=
