In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 8 : 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 12 : 5. Find the capacity of the can?  Choose the most appropriate option
A) 40	B) 18.4	C) 48	D) 50	E) 56
Let the capacity of the can be T litres.   Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 8/13 (T - 8)   After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 12/17 T.   12T/17 - 8 = 8/13(T - 8)   20T = 1456 - 1088 =&gt; T = 18.4.   Answer:18.4
