Question

. Amar, Akbar, Anthony, Karan and Arjun are five brothers aged in that order with Amar being the
eldest. Each of them had to carry a bucket of water from a well to their house. Their bucket
capacities were proportional to their ages. While returning, equal amount of water got splashed out
of their buckets. Who lost the maximum amount of water as a percentage of the bucket capacity ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arjun

Step-by-step explanation:

As arjun is the youngest he will have less water, so when equal amounts of water have fallen from their buckets arjun will have lost the maximum amount of water.

Answer 2

Amar, Akbar, Anthony, Karan and Arjun - Arjun lost the maximum percentage of water

Explanation

Amar being the eldest brother, his age will be maximum

Arjun being the youngest brother, his age will be minimum

The amount of water spilled is equal say  

Age is proportional to the bucket capacity

Lets say,

Amar is 50 years, Akbar is 40yrs , Anthony is 30yrs, Karan is 20yrs and Arjun is 10yrs  

So is the capacity of bucket

Now suppose 5 litres spilled from each bucket so

Amar capacity in bucket $50-5 = 45$

Akbar capacity in bucket $40-5 = 35$

Anthony capacity in bucket $30-5=25$

Karan capacity in bucket $20-5=15$

Arjun capacity in bucket $10-5=5$

So in terms of percentage, Arjun lost 50% of his bucket capacity.
