Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 25.6 litres

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Milk left} = \text{Initial quantity} \left(1 - \frac{\text{Removed}}{\text{Total}}\right)^\text{repetitions} \) \( = 50 \left(1 - \frac{10}{50}\right)^3 \) \( = 50 \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^3 \) \( = 50 \times \frac{64}{125} \) \( = 25.6 \text{ litres} \)
