7/6Explanation
Solution: Let, the capacity of drum X is = P liter The capacity of drum Y is = 2P liter Now, drum x is P/2 liter full. Drum Y is 2p/3 of 2P or 2P 2P/3 = 4P /3 liter full After transformation of X to Y = X+Y = 4P/3 + P/2 = 8P+3P/6 = 11P/6 Hence, Drum Y is field with 11P/6 litters So Fraction is = 6/2P or 11P/6 1/2P = 11/12Related questions
