Drum X is 12 full of oil and Drum Y, which has twice the capacity of Drum X, is 23 full of oil. If all of the oil in Drum X is poured into Drum Y, then Drum Y will be filled to what fraction of its capacity?

11/12 full

Explanation:

The correct question is

Drum X is 1/2 full of oil and drum Y, which has twice the capacity of drum X, is 2/3 full of oil. If all of the oil in drum X is poured into drum Y, then drum Y will be filled to what fraction of its capacity?

A) 3/4

B) 5/6

C) 11/12

D) 7/6

E) 11/6

Solution

Let Capacity of Drum X = 150L

and Drum Y = 300L

Oil in Drum X = 75 L

Oil in Drum Y = 2/3 * 300 = 200L

Oil poured in to Drum Y => Oil in Drum Y = 275L

Capacity Ratio = 275/300 = 11/12

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."

the temperature of the gas, in k, not celsius.
