Containers \[A\] and \[B\] had \[15\ell \] and \[5\ell \] of water respectively. When an equal amount of water was poured into both containers, container \[A\] had twice the volume of water as container\[B\]. What was the least amount of water that was poured into each container?

A) \[5\,\,m\ell \]

B)                    \[5000\,\,m\ell \]

C)                    \[50\,\,m\ell \]

D)                    \[500\,\,m\ell \]

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

Amount of water in container A (in\[\mathbf{l}\])	Amount of water in container B (in\[\mathbf{l}\])	Amount of water in container C (in\[\mathbf{l}\])
15	5	0
16	6	1
17	7	2
18	8	3
19	9	4
20	10	5

The least amount of water poured into each container\[=5\ell =5000\,\,m\ell \].
