Question

Two containers, A and B begin with equal volumes of liquid.

Answer 1

Answer:

volume left in A is 80ml

Step-by-step explanation:

let original volume in both be x ml

after pouring from A to B

vol in A = x - 120

vol in B = x + 120

now it is given that

vol in B = 4 times vol in A

implies

$x + 120 = 4 \times (x - 120) \\ x + 120 = 4x - 480 \\ 3x = 600 \\ x = 200$

hence original volume in A is 200ml. after pouring in B it is 200-120 = 80 ml
