After first day only 2/3rd remains. After second day only 1/4th of that remaining from 1st day remains. So, final answer = (2/3)*(1/4) = 1/6

After first day only 2/3rd remains. After second day only 3/4th of that remaining from 1st day evaporated. So, final answer = [x-((1/3)x+(2/3)*(3/4))]/x=1/6

Assume that contents of the container is X

On the first day 1/3rd is evaporated.

(1 - 1/3) of X is remaining i.e. (2/3)X

On the Second day 3/4th is evaporated. Hence,

(1- 3/4) of (2/3)X is remaining

i.e. (1/4)(2/3)X = (1/6) X

Hence 1/6th of the contents of the container is remaining
