Question

should be the minimum capacity of the bottle, if three cans of 25 ml, 60 ml and 75 ml of kerosene are emptied in it.

• A. 150 mL
• B. 200 mL
• C. 100 mL
• D. 250 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is B 200 mL

All the units of measurement are same. We can add all three quantities.

$25$
$+60$
$+75$
$\overline{}$
$160mL$
$\overline{}$

160 mL will overflow in a 150 mL can. Hence, 200 mL is the minimum capacity of the can which can hold the total quantity of kerosene.
