    B 150 lit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 144 lit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 240 lit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total mixture in vessel be Q liters.
    Initial quantity of water in vessel = 0.25Q
    And, quantity of milk in vessel = 0.75Q
    (0.25Q + 80)/0.75Q = 40/60
    15Q + 4800 = 30Q
    15Q = 4800
    Q = 320 l
    Quantity of milk in vessel = 320 × 75/100 = 240 l
