Question

    Two-thirds of the cylinder is full of water. When we

    tilt the cylinder in such a way that the water becomes a diagonal shape, in this process 93.5 liters of water is flown out. Find the capacity of the cylinder.
    A 510 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 561 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 480 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 520 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the capacity of the cylinder = x Water in cylinder = (2/3) X When we tilt the cylinder, the water becomes a diagonal shape i.e., half of the water left and 87.5 liters of water flow out. => (2/3) X - 93.5 = X/2 2x/3 -x/2 = 93.5 x=93.5×6 = 561 Therefore, the capacity of the cylinder is 561 liters.
