Question

Which of the following quantities (in L) of water cannot be measured using a 6 L mug?

• A. 24
• B. 42
• C. 54
• D. 46

Answer 1

The correct option is D 46

The quantity of water that can be measured using the mug will always be a multiple of 6.

First 10 multiples of 6:
$6\times 1=66\times 2=126\times 3=186\times 4=246\times 5=306\times 6=366\times 7=426\times 8=486\times 9=546\times 10=60$


So, 46 L water cannot be measured using a 6 L mug.
