Question

A tank is 3/5 full of water.After 330L is drawn out it becomes 2/7 full. Find capacity of tank in litres

Answer 1

Answer:

Capacity of tank = 1050 Litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say capacity of tank = x litre

Tank was filled 3/5 of water

So water in tank = (3/5)×x = 3x/5 litre

After withdrawal of 330 Litre it remains 2/7

So remaining water = (2/7)x = 2x/7 litre

Hence

3x/5 - 330 = 2x/7

Multiplying by 35

21x - (330×35) = 10x

11x = 330 × 35

x = 30 × 35

x = 1050

Capacity of tank = 1050 Litre
