Capacity of tank X- Capacity of tank Y=600
X-Y=600.......(1)

After removal of 100G from each tank

Tank X would contain (X-100) G
Tank Y would contain (Y-100) G

Given that

(X-100)=3(Y-100)
X-100=3Y-300
X-3Y=400......(2)

Solving 1 and 2
Y=100
X=700
Total=800 Hence E

tank X = y + 600

tank Y = y

y+500/y- 100 = 3

y+500 = 3y-300

y= 400


total capacity = 400+600+400 = 1400
