Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Rs. \(60 / L\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Total volume of diluted milk} = 20 \text{ L} + 4 \text{ L} = 24 \text{ L} \) \( \text{Total revenue} = 24 \text{ L} \times 50 \text{ Rs/L} = 1200 \text{ Rs} \) \( \text{Cost of pure milk} = \text{Total revenue} \) \( 20 \text{ L} \times C = 1200 \text{ Rs} \)…
