34frac{3}{4} part of a tank is filled with oil. After taking out 60 litres of oil the tank is 23frac{2}{3} part full. What is the capacity (in litres) of the tank?

a

600

b

360

c

720

d

240

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

Let the capacity of the tank be x litres.

According to the question,

3x42x3=60frac{3 x}{4}-frac{2 x}{3}=60

9x8x12=60Rightarrow frac{9 x-8 x}{12}=60

x12=60Rightarrow frac{x}{12}=60

x=12×60=720Rightarrow x=12 imes 60=720 quad litres
