2/7 of tank in 3 hour
so the remaining = 5/7 in 3*7/2 *5/7 = 7.5

OA: D

Time taken to fill $$\frac{2}{7}$$ of tank : $$3$$ hours

Time taken to fill $$1$$ tank $$= \frac{7}{2}*3 \quad$$hours $$= \frac{21}{2}$$ hours

The time remaining (in hours) till the tank is completely filled $$= (\frac{21}{2} - 3)$$ Hours $$=\frac{21-6}{2}$$ Hours $$= \frac{15}{2}$$ Hours $$= 7.5$$ Hours

3 = 2/7
x = 5/7

cross multiply
x = 7.5
