12 buckets of water fill a tank when the capacity of each bucket is 13.5 litres. How many buckets will be needed to fill the same tank, if the capacity of each bucket is 9 litres?
A. 8
B. 15
C. 16
D. 18
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Capacity of the tank= (12 × 13.5) litres
= 162 litres
Capacity of each bucket = 9 litres
Number of buckets needed
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{= }}\left( {\frac{{162}}{9}} \right) \cr & = 18 \cr} $$
