In the first step, 4 litres of milk is taken out from 40 litres it means 4/40=0.1.
It shows that every time 0.1 times the available milk is taken out so in the next step there will be 36 litres of milk. 36 * 0.1=3.6 litres is removed in the second step.
Now, 32.4 litres of milk is remaining in the mixture. Again 32.4 * 0.1=3.24 litres is removed in the third step. Now 29.16 litres of milk is remaining.

40-litre juice and 0 litre water.
removed 4-litre juices and replace water.
36 litre juice +4 water we get a mixture of 40 litre.
again 4 litre juices remover it means removing mixture,
this 4 litre contain 36liter juice:4 LITER WATER,
36/36+4*4==3.6 litre juices remove.
40==36-3.6=32.2.
4-litre mixture removes we get 32.4:7.6.
32.4/32.4 + 7.6*4==3.24.
32.4-3.24==29.16.
removed 4-litre juices and replace water.
36 litre juice +4 water we get a mixture of 40 litre.
again 4 litre juices remover it means removing mixture,
this 4 litre contain 36liter juice:4 LITER WATER,
36/36+4*4==3.6 litre juices remove.
40==36-3.6=32.2.
4-litre mixture removes we get 32.4:7.6.
32.4/32.4 + 7.6*4==3.24.
32.4-3.24==29.16.

I think we can understand this by the formula of successive discounts.

4/40 ratio = 1/10.
Process 2 times so milk ratio 1000:729(1000-729=271water).
40/1000 = 0.04.
0.04 * 729 = 29.16.

First, when we took out 4 L of milk, and add 4 L of water, then the mixture become in a ratio of 9:1 then we were going to again checked checking, how much milk is present in the mixture 36 * 9/10 (9+1) = 32.4.
This is the new ratio of milk then we have to do it one more time32.4 * 9/10 = 29.16.
This is the new ratio of milk then we have to do it one more time32.4 * 9/10 = 29.16.
