The container contains 240 L run
The easiest way to do such questions is to use the liquid replacement formula

If from V liquid , x amount is replaced everytime and replaced by other x then the concentration of the original liquid changes to

New Volume = V[1- (x/v)]^n
where x is the volume replaced, V is the total volume initial , n is the number of times it is done

NewVolume = 240*( 1- 80/240)^4
NewVolume = 240*2*2*2*2/3*3*3*3 = 80*16/27 = 47.40


New Concept:
If the volume removed in every step is different, you can modify the formula.

Let the volume removed and replaced 3 times be v1 , v2, v3 like if in the above question 80L was removed first and replaced with water, followed by 90 l removed and replaced with water , then 100 l removed and replaced, the formula would become,

NewVolume = V*(1- v1/V)(1- v2/V) (1- v3/V)
