admin

One tank holds 300 litres more than another. If the small tank can hold 150 litres, what is the difference in volume between the two when the larger tank is half full and the smaller tank is full?

A: 375L
B: 250L
C: 450L
D: 425L

Given
A small tank can hold 150 liters and the difference is 300 liters. So, the large tank can hold 150 + 300 = 450 liters.
So,
volume in the large tank when it is half full = 450/2 = 225 liters
volume in the small tank when it is full = 150 liters
Difference = 225 - 150 = 75 liters

Total volume = 150 + 225 = 375 liters
