Question

When you pour the water from a half-filled 1500 ml container into a container measuring 2500 ml, how much more quantity of water can be added to the 2500 ml container?

• A. 2000 ml
• B. 1500 ml
• C. 1750 ml
• D. 1250 ml

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1750 ml

Original quantity of water being shifted $=1500\times \frac{1}{2}$ (since it is half-filled)
= 750 ml

So after adding 750 ml water in a 2500 ml container, we are left with 2500 - 750 = 1750 ml
