The fuel indicator in a car shows $$\frac{1}{5}$$th of the fuel tank as full. When 22 more litres of fuel are poured into the tank, the indicator rests at three-fourth of the full mark. What is the capacity of the fuel tank?
Let the capacity of the fuel tank be x liters.
According to the question:
x/5 + 22 = 3/4x
On solving, we get
x = 40
So,
Capacity of the fuel tank = 40 litres.
