Answer:
50 litre
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total capacity of that bucket be a litre.
As given 2/3 is already filled with oil.
So, 2/3 of a = 2a/3 is already filled.
Another 50 litre oil is required to fill the bucket.
= > total capacity = a litre
= > 2a/3 litre + 50 litre = a litre
= > 2a/3 + 50 = a
= > 50 = a - 2a/3
= > 50 = (3a - 2a)/3
= > 3 * 50 = a
= > 150 = a
Capacity of that bucket is 150 litre.
