Question

5 small buckets and 2 large buckets of water make 20 liters ; 2 small buckets and 3 large buckets make only 19 litres . How much water can each bucket hold ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the volume of small bucket be x

let the volume of large buckets be y

5x+2y=20

x=20-2y/5---(1)

2x+3y=19--(2)

put (1) in (2)

2(20-2y/5)+3y=19

40-4y+15y/5=19

40+11y=95

11y =55

y =5litre

x=20-10/5=2litre
