All the milk in container A which was filled to its brim was poured into two containers B and C. The quantity of milk in container B was 62.5% less than the capacity of container A. If 152 liters was now transferred from C to B, then both the containers would have equal quantities of milk. What was the initial quantity of milk in container A?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 1216  B) 1723  C) 1129  D) 2613  E) 1372

Rationale: a b has 62.5 % or ( 5 / 8 ) of the milk in a . therefore , let the quantity of milk in container a ( initially ) be 8 k . quantity of milk in b = 8 k - 5 k = 3 k . quantity of milk in container c = 8 k - 3 k = 5 k container : a b c quantity of milk : 8 k 3 k 5 k it is given that if 152 liters was transferred from container c to container b , then both the containers would have equal quantities of milk . 5 k - 152 = 3 k + 152 = > 2 k = 304 = > k = 152 the initial quantity of milk in a = 8 k = 8 * 152 = 1216 liters .
Answer: A
