Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 360 litres

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} - \frac{18}{V} = \frac{1}{5} \) \( \frac{2+1}{12} - \frac{18}{V} = \frac{1}{5} \) \( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{18}{V} = \frac{1}{5} \) \( \frac{18}{V} = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5-4}{20} = \frac{1}{20} \) \( V = 18 \times 20 = 360 \) litres
