Question

Two containers A and B begin with equal volumes of liquid.120 ml is then poured from A to B. Container B now contains 4 times as much liquid as A. Find the volume of liquid left in container A at the end

Answer 1

Answer:

80ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let volume of water in A be x.

Then, B = x (ATQ)

Now,

When 120ml is taken from A and poured to B, then B=4 times of A

ATQ

(B + 120) = 4(A - 120m)

=) x + 120ml = 4x - 480

=) 120 +480 = 4x - x

=) 600 = 3x

=) x = 200

Volume of liquid left in container A at the end = A - 120= x - 120 = 80ml

Hence, the volume of liquid left in container A is 80ml.
