51 litre and 750 millilitre of milk is filled in 23 bottles each of the same size. The quantity of milk in 16 bottles is
(a) 36 litre
(b) 37 litre and 600 millilitre
(c) 34 litre and 400 mililitre
(d) 35 litre
Answer: (a) 36 liters
Solution:-
Total milk filled in 23 bottles = 51 liters and 750 milliliters
Therefore, milk filled in a bottle = 51.750/23
= 2.25 liters
Thus, the quantity of milk filled in 16 bottles = 16 x 2.25
= 36 liters
Hence, the correct answer is option (a) 36 liters.
