To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of the bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x.
Then, the capacity of tank = 25x.
| New capacity of bucket = | 2 | x |
| 5 |
 Required number of buckets = |
25x |
| (2x/5) |
| = |  25x |
x | 5 |  |
| 2x |
| = | 125 |
| 2 |
= 62.5

Thanks, @Nicks your method is so easy.

@All.
The solution is;
1 bucket = 2/5 x capacity.
X bucket = 25x capacity (because the total number of buckets capacity is equal to tank capacity)
So, 25x÷2/5x = 62.5.

Consider bucket is of= 1ml.
The 25 bucket contain=25*1ml = 25ml.
If bucket reduced to 2/5 then to gain 25 ml we will choose one number which will give us required 25ml so,
2/5 * (62.5) = 25ml.
The 25 bucket contain=25*1ml = 25ml.
If bucket reduced to 2/5 then to gain 25 ml we will choose one number which will give us required 25ml so,
2/5 * (62.5) = 25ml.

2x/5 =25 bucket.
2x = 125 =(5*25),
X = 125/2,
X = 62.5.
Or.
1 bucket = 2.5.
25 bucket = 25 *2.5,
= 62.5.
2x = 125 =(5*25),
X = 125/2,
X = 62.5.
Or.
1 bucket = 2.5.
25 bucket = 25 *2.5,
= 62.5.

Its wrong
bucket is reduced to 2\5
capacity will be 1-2\5=3\5
answer is 41.6
bucket is reduced to 2\5
capacity will be 1-2\5=3\5
answer is 41.6

It's simple.
2/5 = .40 = 40 percent.
25÷40 = 0.625 * 100 = 62.5.
2/5 = .40 = 40 percent.
25÷40 = 0.625 * 100 = 62.5.
