Answer for above container puzzle:
60g
Explanation:
As per first image, full container weight is 120g so let’s put it as an equation where X is weight of container and Y is weight of liquid inside it(when full)
X + Y = 120g ==> Y = 120g – X
As per second image, half container and an empty container weighs 150g so equation would be like
X+1/2Y+X=150g (There are 2 containers and half filled liquid)
2X+1/2Y=150g
4X+Y=300g
4X+(120g-X)=300g
3X=180g
X=60g and Y = 120g – 60g = 60g
So as per equation, an empty container weight 60g while liquid inside is 60g(when full).
