second day, the second caravan reached the oasis and the camels drank one third

of the water left . On the third day the third caravan reached the oasis and the

camels drank one quarter of the water left in the pool. On the first day the pool

contained 1050 cubic litres of water. How much water was left after the 20th

caravan passed through.

(Hint: observe the pattern and calculate)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer = 49.97 L^3

Water on the pool = 1050 L^3

Day when first caravan passed = 1050 / 2

= 525 L^3

remaining = 525 L^3

2nd caravan passed =525 / 3 = 175 L^3

remaining = 350 L^3

3rd caravan passed = 350 / 4 = 87.5 L^3

remaining = 262 .5 L ^3

4th caravan = 262.5 / 5 = 52.5 L^3

remaining = 210 L^3

5th caravan = 210 / 6 = 35

it continues and final answer ,= 49.97 L
