Question

Jug Y contains 3L 720ml of water less than jug X but 830ml of water more than jug z.

If the water in jug x and jug z is poured equally into 5 bottles, how much water is there in each bottle?

please help to solve without using algebra method.

Answer

Jug Z      [u]

Jug Y      [u][830]

Jug X     [u][830][3720]

Total water in Jug X and Z = 2u+4550

For (2u+4550) to be divisible by 5, u can have many answers as 2u needs to be multiples of 10.

Hence u is a multiple of 5 and water in each bottle can be 912ml, 914ml, 916ml etc….

If there is a specific answer, check if there is missing info in the question.
