Gasoline

by vidhya16 » Tue Nov 01, 2011 12:24 pm
When car X pulled into a service station, its gasoline tank was 1/3 full. How many liters of gasoline did the attendant add to the tank at the station?
(1) The attendant added enough gasoline to fill the tank to 9/10 of its capacity.
(2) When car x pulled into the station, its gasoline tank contained 32 liters of gasoline.

If the tank capacity is x then

1) (17/30)*x is filled by the attendant - Insufficient !
2) (1/3)*x = 32 Insufficient

1 and 2 sufficient ! C
