Question

A dram is 2/3 full, if 50L more required to fill it up, how much is the capacity of the drum?

Answer 1

a drum is 2/3 full

empty = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

1/3 of the drum requires 50L

total capacity = 50/(1/3) = 50×3 = 150L

Answer 2

Answer:

150 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

let the capacity of drum be X

now filled part = 2x/3

remaining part= x-2x/3

= X/3

ATQ

X/3 = 50lit

X = 50*3 lit

= 150 litres
