    A 1 L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total capacity of the tub be x litres So, when we added 38 litres milk into the tub, only 5% is empty in the tub. Therefore, 95% of x = 38  now, x =  38 x 100/95 = 40 litres Required amount of milk = 40 - 38 = 2 Litres
