Question

Three tanks, A, B and C are used to store oil.
Tank A contains n litres of oil. Tank B contains (n + 150) litres of oil.
Tank C is empty.
Oil is pumped from tank A and from tank B into tank C so that
all three tanks contain the same amount of oil.
500 litres of oil are pumped from tank A into tank C.
Work out the value of n.

Answer 1

Answer:

soln

A= n

B= 150

C=?

now,

A+B+C= 500

n+150+c= 500

n+c= 500-150

n+c= 350

2n+c = 350

n+c= 350/2
