Solution

The correct option is B 2500 mL
Let the quantity of milk be $x m L$

According to question,
A milk bottle has $10 %$ water. It contains $x m L$ of milk and $250 m L$ of water.

$10 % of x = 250$
$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{100} \times x = 250$
$\Rightarrow x = 2500$

Hence, the amount of milk would be $2500 m L .$
