let the total capacity of drum be x
2/3×x + 50 = x
2x/3 +50 =x
2x+150/3 = x
2x+150 = 3x
150 = 3x-2x
150 = x
the total capacity of drum is 150 litres
2/3×x + 50 = x
2x/3 +50 =x
2x+150/3 = x
2x+150 = 3x
150 = 3x-2x
150 = x
the total capacity of drum is 150 litres

Answer:
The total capacity of drum is 150 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the capacity of the drum be x
According to the question,
on adding 50 L to the 2/3 of the total capacity of drum, it get filled completely,
this implies,
(2/3)*x + 50 = x
2x/3 +50 =x
Taking LCM of 3 and 1,
( 2x+150)/3 = x
2x+150 = 3x
or, 150 = 3x-2x
150 = x
The total capacity of drum is 150 litres
