Question

3. A petrol tank is already (2/3) filled. When 8 litre is added it is 224
--filled by (5/6) of the tank. Find the tank capacity​

Answer 1

Answer:

The tank Capacity is 48 liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fraction of tank already filled = 2/3

when 8 liter are filled then fraction of tank filled = 5/6

To find: Total Capacity of tank.

Let x be the Total Capacity of the tank.

Amount of tank filled = 2/3 × x = 2x/3

After adding 8 liter, amount of tank = 5/6 × x = 5x/6

According to the Question,

2x/3 + 8 = 5x/6

5x/6 - 2x/3 = 8

5x/6 - 4x/6 = 8

5x - 4x = 8 × 6

x = 48

Therefore, The tank Capacity is 48 liter.
