Question

If a bucket has a capacity of 8 litres, how much water can be stored in 140 such buckets?

• A. 1120 centilitre
• B. 1120 kilolitre
• C. 112 decalitre
• D. 1120 millilitre

Answer 1

The correct option is C 112 decalitre

Capacity of one bucket = 8 litres
Therefore, water that can be stored in 140 such bottles is,
$=140\times 8=1120\text{litres}$

We know that,
1 decilitre = 10 litres
Therefore, 1120 litres $=\frac{1120}{10}=112\text{decalitres}$
