Solution
The correct option is C 500 Capacity of a tank = 500 L
Water filled in 20 tanks = 500 L × 20
So, in total, there will be 10000 L in 20 tanks.
Capacity of a bucket = 20 L
So, to calculate the number of buckets that can be filled, we need to divide 10000 by 20. 5002010000−100––––200−00–––00−00–––0
Thus, a total of 500 buckets can be filled with the water from 20 tanks.
