Three-fourth petrol of a reservoir is used to fill the petrol tanks of five trucks having the same storage capacity. What part of the total capacity of the petrol reservoir did each truck receive?

A 3/20
B 4/15
C 2/15
D 1/5

Correct Answer: 3/20

Let the capacity of each truck and the reservoir be T and R respectively. Total capacity of five trucks = 5T According to the question,  5T = 3/4 of R or,  T = 3/4 x R / 5 = (3/20) R So, each truck received 3/20 of the reservoir.
