Question

To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ?

A) 52.5 B) 62.5 C) 72.5 D) 82.5

Answer 1

Answer:

62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of tank filled by 25 buckets= 1

volume of tank filled by 1 bucket = 1/25

so the capacity of 1 bucket is 1/25

ATQ

capacity of a bucket

= 1/25 *2/5

= 2/125

Now one bucket can fill 2/125 of the tank

so no. of buckets required to fill 1 full tank = a number which when multiplied by 2/125 will result in 1

such a number is 125/2, ie the reciprocal of 2/125.

therefore 125/2 buckets of water will fill the same tank

ps: 125/2 = 62.5
