Question

The amount of petrol in a tank is twice of that in another tank. if we draw out 25 litre from the first and add it to the other, the amount of petrol in both the tanks will be the same. find the amount of petrol in each tank now.

Answer 1

let the amount of petrol in second tank be x

hence in the first tank,it will be 2x

account to the question

2x-25=x+25

x=50

the amount of petrol in second tank =50

hence in the first tank,it will be 100

Answer 2

Amount of Petrol in First Tank is 100 Litre

Amount of Petrol in Second Tank is 50 Litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Amount of petrol in first tank is twice of that in second tank

If 25 litre from first tank is taken out and added to second tank, then the amount of petrol in both the tanks will be the same.

Solution:

Let the amount of second tank be $x$

Thus, in the first tank amount of petrol will be $2x$

Given $2x-25=x+25$

$x-25=25$

$x=25+25$

$x=50$

Therefore, amount of petrol in first tank is $2x=2\times50=100$ litre and in second tank is $x=50$ litre
