Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 34 litres

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial milk: \( \frac{5}{7} \times 56 = 40 \) litres Initial water: \( \frac{2}{7} \times 56 = 16 \) litres \( \frac{40}{16 + x} = \frac{4}{5} \) \( 200 = 4(16 + x) \) \( 200 = 64 + 4x \) \( 136 = 4x \) \( x = 34 \) litres
