In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3 : 7. 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 : 7. Find the capacity of the can? Choose the correct answer.
A) 16.6  B) 44  C) 27  D) 50  E) 56
Let the capacity of the can be T litres.   Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 3/10 (T - 8)   After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 4/11 T.   4T/11 - 8 = 3/10(T - 8)   37T = 880- 264 =&gt; T = 16.6.   16.6nswer:16.6
