Question

A drum is half fill , when 10 litres taken out 1/4 is left. Then what is the capacity of the drum

Answer 1

Answer:

40 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2=x

therefore, 1/2-1/4 = 1/4

as, when 10 litres is taken out 1/4 is left

so, 1/4 is equal to 10 litres (fraction of water removed in 10 litres)

if 1/4is equal to 10 litres, then 1/2 is equal to 20 litres

so the capacity of the drum is twice 1/2 = 40 litres
