In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 1 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 2 litres of milk the can would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 3 : 5. Find the capacity of the can?
Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 40
B) 44
C) 48
D) 8
E) 56

Rationale: "let the capacity of the can be t litres . quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 1 / 6 ( t - 2 ) after adding milk , quantity of milk in the mixture = 3 / 8 t . 3 t / 8 - 2 = 1 / 6 = ( t - 2 ) 10 t = 96 - 16 = > t = 8 answer : d"
Answer: D
