Question

capacity of a jug is twice that of a cup. the total capacity of the jug and the cup is 36l. the capacity of the jug shall be?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the capicity of the jug be X

so capicity of twise that of capicity of cup 2X

capicity of cup = 36 L

2X=36

X= 36/2

X = 18

Answer 2

SOLUTION:

LET THE CAPACITY OF JUG= x

LET THE CAPACITY OF CUP=y

ATQ

x=2y ---------eq1

x + y = 36 -------eq2

x= 2y

y= x/2

PUT THE VALUE OF y=x/2 in eq2

x+ x/2= 36

(2x + x ) / 2= 36

3x = 36 × 2

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

SO THE CAPACITY OF THE JUG (x) is 24 litres

ACCORDINGLY, CAPACITY OF CUP WILL BE 12 LITRES

YOU CAN CHECK IT BY 24 + 12 = 36
