Answer:
Weight of empty bottle = 0.8 kg
Weight of water = 1.6 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
As given , A bottle weighs 1.2 kg when it is 1/4 full of water. It weighs 2.4 kg when it is full.
Let us assume
Weight of empty bottle = x
Weight of water = y
Now,
when the bottle is 1/4 full of water
then,
weight of water = ×y
As given , Bottle weight = 1.2 , when it is 1/4 full of water
⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 1.2
⇒ ×y + x = 1.2
⇒ y + 4x = 4.8 .......(1)
Also given, A bottle weight = 2.4 , when it is full of water
⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 2.4
⇒ y + x = 2.4 ......(2)
Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we get
y + 4x - ( y+ x) = 4.8 - 2.4
⇒ y + 4x - y - x = 2.4
⇒3x = 2.4
⇒x = = 0.8 kg
and y = 2.4 - x = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 kg
∴ we get
Weight of empty bottle = x = 0.8 kg
Weight of water = y = 1.6 kg
