Answer:- 1

Explanation:-

Solution:

Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres.
Then, quantity of wine left in cask after 4 operations

\begin{aligned} = [x {(1 - \frac{8}{x})}^{4}] litres \\ ∴ ({\frac{x (1 - (\frac{8}{x}))}{x}}^{4}) = \frac{16}{81} \\ \Rightarrow {(1 - \frac{8}{x})}^{4} = {(\frac{2}{3})}^{4} \\ \Rightarrow (\frac{x - 8}{x}) = \frac{2}{3} \\ \Rightarrow 3 x - 24 = 2 x \\ \Rightarrow x = 24 \end{aligned}

$\eqalign{ & = \left[ {x{{\left( {1 - \frac{8}{x}} \right)}^4}} \right]\,{\text{litres}} \cr & \therefore \left( {{{\frac{{x\left( {1 - \left( {\frac{8}{x}} \right)} \right)}}{x}}^4}} \right) = \frac{{16}}{{81}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {1 - \frac{8}{x}} \right)^4} = {\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)^4} \cr & \Rightarrow \left( {\frac{{x - 8}}{x}} \right) = \frac{2}{3} \cr & \Rightarrow 3x - 24 = 2x \cr & \Rightarrow x = 24 \cr}$
