From a tank of petrol, which contains 200 litres of petrol, the seller replaces each time with kerosene when he sells 40 litres of petrol(or its mixture). Everything he sells out only 40 litres of petrol(pure or impure). After replacing the petrol with kerosene 4th time, the total amount of kerosene in the mixture is :

Answer»

81.92 l
96 l
118.08 l
none of these

Solution :The AMOUNT of PETROL left after 4 operations
=`200xx(1-(40)/(200))^4 = 200xx(4/5)^4`
=`200xx(256)/(625) = 81.92 LITRES`
Hence the amount of kerosene = 200-81.92 = 118.08 litres.
