Hey..this question is wrong. The correct version is :

After 360 liters of fuel were added to a container, the amount of fuel in the container was 5/8 of the tank's capacity. What is the capacity of the container?

1) After the 360 liters were added, the container had 108 liters less than 3/4 of the tank's capacity.

2) Before the 360 liters were added, there were 180 liters of fuel in the container.


Solutions:

Statement 1
x+360 = (3/4)c -108
x+360 = (5/8)c (given)

So, (5/8)c = (3/4)c - 108
5c-6c/8 = -108
-c = 108 × 8
c = 864
Statement 1 sufficient

Statement 2
180+360 = (5/8)c
540×8/5 = c
c = 864
Statement 2 sufficient
Ans: D
