Question

15. A drum contained 250 litres of oil. 5% oil was
lost due to leakage. How many litres of the oil
is still in the drum ?
(A) 237-50
(B) 238
(C) 238.50
(D) 240​

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 237.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of drum = 250 litres

Oil lost due to leakage = 5% of 250 = 5/100 × 250 = 12.50 litres

Hence, oil still in the drum = 250-12.50 = 237.50 litres
