Question

If the water in two tanks A and B has been cleared and poured into Tank C, find the quantity of water present in Tank C.

• A. 13 L 60 mL
• B. 12 L 600 mL
• C. 13670 mL
• D. 13600 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is D 13600 mL

Quantity of water in Tank A
= 8 L 230 mL
= 8000 mL + 230 mL
( <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> ∵ 1 L = 1000 mL)
= 8230 mL

Quantity of water in Tank B
= 5 L 370 mL
= 5000 mL + 370 mL
= 5370 mL

$\therefore$ Quantity of water in Tank C
= 8230 mL + 5370 mL
= 13600 mL

Also, 13600 mL = 13000 mL + 600 mL
= 13 L 600 mL.
