Answer:

The capacity of water in the tank is 300 litres

Explanation:

Let the unknown capacity be x

4/5 of x-190 litres = 1/6 of x

4x/5-190 litres = x/6

Cross x/6 and 190 litres over the equation sign

4x/5-x/6 = 190 litres

The LCM is 30

(24x-5x)/30 = 190 litres

19x/30 = 190 litres

Cross multiply

190 litres*30 = 19x

5700 litres= 19x

Divide through by 19

x = 300 litres
