Answer» Suppose a solution contains x units of a WHISKY from which y units are taken out and replaced by soda After n repeated OPERATIONS, QUANTITY of pure liquid REMAINING in solution ⇒ x(1 − y/x)n = x(1 − y/x)n units Where n = NUMBER of replacements So, whisky in the drum now: ⇒ 40 (1 − 4/40)3 = 40(1 − 1/10)3 ⇒ 29.16 ∴ 29.16 units of whisky is in the container |
