Solution

Drum is $$\frac{3}{4}$$ full.

When 30 liters are drawn out of it, it becomes $$\frac{1}{2}$$ full.
Therefore $$\frac{3}{4}$$ - $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of drum = 30
                                     $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of drum = 30
                                           Total capacity of drum = 30 $$\times$$ 4 = 120 litres
