Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
One fourth of a tank holds 135 liters of water. What part of the tank is full if it contains 180 liters of water?

• A. 2/5
• B. 2/3
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/6

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

1/3

Given that,
${\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)}^{th}$ of capacity of tank = 135 litres.
Total capacity = 135 $\times$ 4 = 540 litres
180 litres will ben $\frac{180}{540}={\frac{1}{3}}^{rd}$ part of the tank.
Hence, 1 80 litres of tank is ${\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}^{rd}$ part of tank.
