It will be 100
Let the no of small can is X;then Larger can=x-40
Volume of the small can=15x,and larger can=(x-40)25
As same vol is used in a week
Hence
15x*7=(x-40)*25*7

Solve for X,u will get x as 100

No 1 is quite good one,IMO should be A only as only three prime factors of 70 and those will represent the x,y,and z.
