Question

A bucket holds 25 litre of water. It has 17 litre 250 ml in it. How much more water it can hold?

• A. 8 litre 750 ml
• B. 7 litre 750 ml
• C. 7 litre 250 ml
• D. 8 litre 250 ml

Answer 1

The correct option is B 7 litre 750 ml

Given:
Capacity of Bucket to hold water = 25 litre
Water in the bucket = 17 litres 250 ml

Space remaing in the bucket = Amount of water bucket can still hold

Amount of water bucket can still hold = 25 litre - 17 litre 250 ml

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{litre}\text{ml}& \\ 25000& \\ \underset{–}{-17250}& \\ 7750& \end{array}$

i.e, Bucket can hold 7 litre 750 ml more water.
