Explanation:

It is given that, three oil tankers together contain 37 5/7 litres of oil.

Total volume of oil is
(264)/(7)\ L

If two tankers have 11 3/14 litres and 12 3/7 litres of oil.

Oil in first tanker is
(157)/(14)\ L

Oil in second tanker is
(87)/(7)\ L

Oil in first and second tanker is :


(157)/(14)\ L+(87)/(7)\ L=(331)/(14)\ L

Noo, oil in the third tanker = total volume - (Oil in first tanker + second tanker )


=(264)/(7)\ L-(331)/(14)\ L\\\\=(197)/(14)\ L

Hence, this is the required solution.
