3/5th of a kerosene tin is filled.if 6 bottles are taken out and 3 are filled again,then half the tin is filled.what is the capacity of the tin??

• 30 bottles
  If capacity of tin=x,
  6 bottles are taken out and 3 are filled again=3 bottles taken out
  Difference in the Quantity=3x/5 - 3 = 2.5x/5 or x/10=3 ,x=30

• let the capacity of tin be x
  s/5th of tin=3x/5
  as we took 6 bottles and again fileed 3 bottles so net loss= 3 bottles
  A/q
  3x/5-3=x/2
  3x-15=5x/2
  3x-15=2.5x
  0.5x=15
  x=15/0.5
  x=150/5
  x=30
  hence capacity of tin x= 30
