Solution
Sunil purchased juice on Monday = `12 1/2` litres = `25/2` litres
And on Tuesday = `14 3/4` litres = `59/4` litres
∴ Total quantity of juice Sunil purchased in two days = `(25/2 + 59/4)` litres
= `((25 xx 2)/(2 xx 2) + 59/4)` litres
= `(50/4 + 59/4)` litres ...[∵ L.C.M. of 2 and 4 is 4]
= `((50 + 59)/4)` litres
= `109/4` litres
= `27 1/4` litres
