We have an Iron Bucket whose weight increases 16.667% when we filled it 50% with water. The weight of water is a Whole Number. Find the Weight of the Bucket.
Options:
A) 20
B) 21
C) 18
D) 27

Answer 1

here is your answer
27

Answer 2

Answer:

Increase of 16.667% means, increased weight is:

(1/6)*x + x //where 'x' weight of bucket

// (1/6)*x is the weight is 50% water

Now as question says weight of water is a whole number, meaning(1/6)*x is a whole number.

Only option 'C' that is '18' is divisible by '6'.

So answer is 18
