Answer:

Volume of the liquid left in the container will be 80 ml.

Explanation:

Two containers A and B having equal volumes of the liquid has been shown in the figure attached.

Let the volume of the liquid in each container = x ml

120 ml of the liquid was poured in container B from container A.

Volume of liquid in container B = 4 × Volume of the liquid in container A

x + 120 = 4(x - 120)

x + 120 = 4x - 480

4x - x = 480 + 120

3x = 600

x = 200 ml

Volume of the liquid left in container A = 200 - 120

= 80 ml

Therefore, volume of the liquid left in the container A will be 80 ml.
