Question

Fuel tank has 1/4 of fuel if we add 11 liters it reaches to 1/2 mark what is the total capacity

Answer 1

Answer:

44 liters

Explanation:

Let total fuel tank capacity be X litres

given tank already [ x/4 ] part filled

According to question,

if we add 11 litres of fuel tank capacity

becomes x/2

i,e

x/4 + 11 = x/2

( x + 44 )/4 = x/2

cross multiply above

2 ( x + 44 ) = 4x

2x + 88 = 4x

2x - 4x = -88

-2x = -88

both sides ( - ) cancel

2x = 88

x = 88/2

x = 44

therefore total tank capacity is 44 litres.
