To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required to fill the same tank if the capicity of the buckets is reduced to two fifth of its present capacity?
Answer: 62.5
Explanation
Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x
Then the capacity of Tank= 25x
New capacity of bucket= 2/5x
Required number of buckets
= 25x/(2x/5)
= 25x*5/2x
= 125/2
= 62.5
