Question

If the beaker shown here is defective and measures only 40 mL for every 50 mL, what is the actual quantity of liquid in the beaker?

• A. 200 mL
• B. 250 L
• C. 160 mL
• D. 250 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is D 250 mL

Quantity of water according to the markings shown in the beaker = 200 mL
The beaker shows 40 mL for every 50 mL.
Now, the volume shown in the beaker = 200 mL = 5 $\times$ 40 mL
So, the actual volume of the liquid in the beaker will be = 5 $\times$ 50 = 250 mL.
