A container is 16.67% filled. On weighing, it is found to weigh 60 kg. If the container is filled to 75% of its capacity, then how much percent more does the container weigh when it is 75% filled as compared to when it is 16.67% filled?

A container is 16.67% filled. On weighing, it is found to weigh 60 kg. If the container is filled to 75% of its capacity, then how much percent more does the container weigh when it is 75% filled as compared to when it is 16.67% filled? Correct Answer 350%

Given:

Weight of container when it is 16.67% filled = 60 kg

Formula Used:

If a > b, then

Percentage of a more than b = (a - b)/b × 100

Calculations:

Weight of container when it is 16.67% filled = 60 kg

Weight of container when it is 75% filled = 60 × (75%/16.67%)

⇒ Weight of container when it is 75% filled = 60 × ((3/4)/(1/6))     

⇒ Weight of container when it is 75% filled = 270 kg

Now, Required percentage = (270 - 60)/60 × 100

⇒ Required percentage = 210/60 × 100 = 350%

∴ The required percentage is 350%.

It takes 5 hours to fill a container using machine A. The same container can be filled using machine B in 10 hours. When the container is full, Machine C can fully empty the container in 20 hours. If all three machines start working on the same empty container how long will it take for the container to be completely filled,
A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twenty-fourth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-eighth of its usual capacity, during the fourth hours at one-fourth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one-half as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipe working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
5/8th part of a container is filled with milk. There are five similar vessels A, B, C, D & E whose combined capacity is equal to the capacity of the container. The milk in the container is transferred into these vessels in the ratio 3 ∶ 4 ∶ 5 ∶ 6 ∶ 7 respectively. Find the percentage capacity of vessel D in which milk is filled.

A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-ninth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-sixth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one -third as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank at a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipes working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
