Question

Adithyan had to pour 6 times with his bottle of 250 mL capacity to fill a tumbler upto half. What is the capacity of the tumbler?

• A.
  3000 mL
• B.
  3 L
• C.
  5 L
• D.
  (a) and (b) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

(a) and (b) above.
Volume of water that can be filled in the bottle = 250 mL
Volume of water poured into the tumbler = 250 mL × 6 = 1500 mL

It's given that the tumbler is half filled now, which means,
Capacity of the tumbler ÷ 2 = 1500 mL
=> Capacity of the tumbler = 1500 mL × 2 = 3000 mL
Since 1000 mL = 1L,
Capacity of the tumbler = 3000 ÷ 1000 = 3 L
