8 litres are drawn from a flask containing milk and then filledwith water. The operation is performed 3 more times. Theratio of the quantity of milk left and total solution is 81/625.How much milk the flask initially holds? Correct Answer 20 ltr

Let initial quantity be Q, and final quantity be F

F = Q(1 - 8/Q)4

=> Q = 20
