Q.From a tank measuring 2.5 meters by 2.2 meters, removing 110 buckets of water causes the water level to drop by 4 decimeters. How much water does each bucket hold in liters? (a) 10 liters (b) 15 liters (c) 20 liters (d) 25 liters
Answer: C
The volume of water at a depth of 4 decimeters in the tank \[ = 25 \times 22 \times 4 \text{ cubic decimeters} = 2200 \text{ cubic decimeters} \] Since 1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter, \[ = 2200 \text{ liters} \] ∴ Each bucket holds \[ \frac{2200}{110} \text{ liters} = 20 \text{ liters} \]
