Question

In the above tank, 2 buckets of water, each filled with 4 L of water are emptied.
So, the volume of water that will overflow is .

• A. 0.544 L
• B. 0.455 L
• C. 0.355 L
• D. 0.533 L

Answer 1

The correct option is B 0.455 L

Initial volume of water in the tank is 8.125 L.

Number of buckets emptied into the tank = 2
Volume of water in each bucket = 4 L

∴ Combined volume of water in 2 buckets = 2 $\times$ 4 = 8 L

So, after the buckets were emptied, we observe:


Calculating 8.125 + 8.000 using the standard method, we get:


Hence, the final volume of water present in the tank is 16.125 L.

Now, we calculate the volume of water that overflowed:


Calculating 16.125 - 15.670 using the standard method, we get:


∴ The volume of water that overflows is 0.455 L.
