Let the weight of the bucket be x and weight of the water required be y.
Given weight of the bucket is 15 kg, It is filled with water up to (3/5) of its capacity.
= > x + (3/5)y = 15 ----- (1)
Given that if is filled with water upto (4/5) of its capacity, its weight is 19kg.
= > x + (4/5)y = 19 ---- (2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On solving (1) & (2), we get
= > x + (3/5)y = 15
= > x + (4/5)y = 19
-----------------------------
= > (3/5) - (4/5)y = 15 - 19
= > -(1/5)y = -4
= > -y = -20
= > y = 20.
Substitute y = 20 in (1), we get
= > x + (3/5)y = 15
= > x + (3/5) * 20 = 15
= > x + 12 = 15
= > x = 3.
Therefore, Weight of the bucket = 20 + 3
= > 23 kg.
Hope this helps!
