Solution

The correct option is A 30 litres
Let quantity of water in tank B be x litres.
Then quantity of water in the tank A=5x litres
Total water in both the tanks =x+5x
=90 liters
6x=90x=15
Water in tank B=15 litres
Water in tank A=15×5=75 litres
So, quantity of water to be transferred from tank A to tank B, so that each tank contains 45 litres=7530=45 litres
Therefore, 30 liters of water should be transferred.
