Answer 2

Given :-

• Bucket A and B have 10L of water in total .
• bucket A contains 2 litre less water than bucket B.

To Find:-

• Amount of water in bucket B .

Solution :-

Let us take water in bucket in bucket A be x , then water in bucket B will be x + 2.

★According to Question ,

$=> x + (x + 2) = 10 \\=> x + x + 2 = 10 \\=> 2x + 2 =10\\=> 2x = 10-2 \\=> 2x = 8 \\=> x =\frac{8}{2}\\\bf => x = 4$

Hence the amount of water in bucket A is 4 L.
