Question

Bucket p has thrice the capacity as bucket q. it takes 80 turns for bucket p to fill the empty drum. how many turns it will take for both the buckets p and q, having each turn together to fill the empty drum?

Answer 1

Hello,
Bucket p = 3 (bucket q)
So, p = 3q
Now,
Capacity of drum = 80 p
Or capacity of drum = 80 * 3 = 240q

Now,
When p and q are turned, the amount of water poured = p + q = 3q +q = 4q

So,
Number of turns = 240q/4q = 60

Hope this will be helping you
