Question

A bottle has 4 L of tomato puree and there are 9 such bottles. If purees have to be transferred to 3 containers to empty these bottles completely, what will be the volume of each container required?

• A. 24 L
• B. 12 L
• C. 48 L
• D. 36 L

Answer 1

The correct option is B 12 L

$\bullet$ Volume of a small bottle of tomato puree = 4 L

$\bullet$ Volume of 9 such bottles = 9 × 4 L = 36 L

$\bullet$ Number of containers available to transfer the tomato puree = 3

$\bullet$ Volume of each container = 36 L ÷ 3 = 12 L

Hence, option D is correct.
