This Question has 1 answers.
We know the formula:
X = A(1 - R/C)n
Here X = Liquid remaining after replacement
A = Total quantity of liquid before replacement
R = Quantity of replaced liquid
C = Total Capacity of drum
n = No. of times the liquid was replaced
⇒ A = 80, R = 20, C = 80 and n = 2
Putting these values in the formula,
⇒ X = 80 × (1 - 1/4)2
⇒ X = 80 × 9/16
⇒ X = 45 litres
⇒ Amount of ethanol present after replacement = 45 litres
∴ Amount of water present after replacement = 80 - 45 = 35 litresSimilar Questions
