There are two buckets, smaller bucket can hold only 3/5th of the water as compared to the larger bucket. If 6,000 buckets of larger capacity are needed to fill a pond. Then how many smaller capacity buckets are needed to fill the same pond?
Let capacity of small bucket = 3 litres and that of larger bucket = 5 litres
Number of larger buckets required to fill the pond = 6000
=> Quantity of pond = $$5\times6000=30,000$$ litres
$$\therefore$$ Number of small buckets required = $$\frac{30,000}{3}=10,000$$
=> Ans - (B)
