Question: If 64 buckets of water are removed from a cubical shaped water tank completely filled with water, 1/3 of the tank remains filled with water. The length of each side of the tank is 1.2 m. Assuming that all buckets are of the same measure, then the volume (in litre) of water contained by each bucket is

Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- $ \frac{2}{3}rd $ of the tank is emptied by using 64 buckets.
$ \therefore $ Volume of tank $ =64\times \frac{3}{2}=96 $ buckets of water
Now, volume of each bucket
$ =\frac{1.2\times 1.2\times 1.2\times 1000}{96}=18 $
