To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of the bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ?  Choose the correct option:  A) 60.5  B) 35.5  C) 25.5  D) 62  E) 62.5
Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x.   Then, the capacity of tank = 25x.   New capacity of bucket =(2/5)x   Required number of buckets =	25x/(2x/5)   = 25x * 5/2x   =125/2=
