The number of times a designer bucket of capacity 4 liters to be used for filling up a old tank is less than the number of times another traditional bucket of capacity 3 liters utilized for the same purpose by 4. Tell the capacity of the old tank?

• Let Assume that the capacity of the tank is X litres.
  
  Number of times the 4 litres bucket is used to fill the tank is X/4.
  
  Number of times the 3 litres bucket is used to fill the tank is X/3.
  
  X/4 -X/3=4
  
  After solving the equation X will be 48.
  
  Tank capacity is 48 Litres.

• let x be required no. of 4 lit to fill & y be required no. of 8 litrs
  given x=y-4& we know that 4x=3y=capacity of old tank
  so by solvin above two eqns
  x=12;y=16
  capacity of bucket=4x=3y=48litrs

• Let capacity of tank be X
  
  No. of 4 litres bucket used =X/4
  
  No of 3 litres bucket used=X/3
  
  X/3-X/4=4
  
  
  By solving above equation
  
  Capacity of tank will be 48 litres.

• x/3 +4 = x/4 , where x = capacity of old tank
  By solving the equation, we get x = 48.

• Let the capacity of tank be x
  No of times taken by designer bucket = x/4
  No of times taken by tradition bucket = x/3
  x/3 - x/4 = 4
  x/12 = 4
  x = 48
