A bucket contains 2 litres more water when it is filled 80 % in comparison when it is filled 66 2/4 % what is the capacity of the bucket?

Question

Answer 1

A. 10 litres
B. 15 litres
C. 66 2/3 litres
D. 20 litres

Explanation:

Let the capacity of the bucket be x liters

(80% of x) – (200/3% of x) = 2

=> (80/100 × x) – (200/300 × x) = 2

=> 4x/5 – 2x/3 = 2

=> (12x -10x) = 30

=> 2x = 30

=> X = 15 Litres

Correct Answer: 15 litres ✔
