Question

1/3rd of the contents of a container evaporated on the 1st day. 3/4th of the remaining evaporated on the second day. find the Denominator of the fraction of the contents of the container is left at the end of the second day?

Answer 1

Let the volume of liquid is$A$.

Then, $\frac{A}{3}$ liquid evaporates on first day.

Remaining liquid on first day

$=A-\frac{A}{3}=\frac{2A}{3}$

$3\times \frac{2A}{4}\times 3$ liquid evaporates on second day.

Remaining liquid on second day

$=\frac{2A}{3}-\frac{A}{2}$

$=\frac{4A-3A}{6}$

$=\frac{A}{6}$

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{6}th$ dfraction of the volume is present at the end of the second day.

Hence, this is the answer.
