  1. If 64 buckets of water are removed from a cubical shaped water tank completely filled with water, 1/3 of the tank remains filled with water. The length of each side of the tank is 1.2 m. Assuming that all buckets are of the same measure, then the volume (in litres) of water contained by each bucket is
    1. 12
    2. 16
    3. 15
    4. 18
Correct Option: D

Volume of tank = (1.2)³ cubic metre = 1.728 cubic metre
∴ 64 × Volume of 1 bucket

=
2 × 1.728
cubic metre
3

∴ Volume of 1 bucket
=
1.728 × 2
cubic metre
3 × 64

= 0.018 cubic metre = (0.018 × 1000) litres = 18 litres
