    C 150 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 116 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 135 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the quantity of oil in the container be 3x and 2x litres respectively. According to the question, => 3x = 0.25 × (2x + 80) => 2.5x = 20 => x = 8 Total capacity of the container = 3x + 2x + 80 = 120 litres.
