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? 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.
