Answer:
10 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of the bucket when completely filled with water = 30kg
Weight of the bucket when 4/5 part is filled with water = 26kg
Assume the weight of bucket as X kg.
Therefore,
(Total weight of bucket filled with 5/5 parts of water ) - (Weight of bucket filled with 4/5 parts of water) = (Weight of 1/5 parts of water)
(30+X)−(26+X)=Weight of 1/5 part of water
=>30+X−26−X
=>4
So, if 1/5 part of water weighs 4kg, then weight of water completely filled in the bucket (5/5) =
4 * 5 = 20kg.
Since, weight of the bucket + water completely filled = 30kg.
Therefore,
20kg + X kg = 30 kg
X = 10 kg.
So, Weight of the bucket is 10kg.
