The capacities of three water tanks are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. The smallest of them can hold 2500 litres. How many litres can the other two hold ?

Answer»

Ratio of the capacities = 2 : 3 : 5

Let the capacities be 2x , 3x , 5x

Quantity of water in smaller tank = 2x = 2500

x = 1250 litres

Capacity of second tank = 3x = 3 × 1250 = 3750 litres

Capacity of third tank = 5x = 5 × 1250 = 6250 litres
