If tank X contains only gasoline, how many kiloliters of gasoline are in tank X.

(1) If 1/2 of the gasoline in tank X were pumped out, the tank would be filled to 1/3 of its capacity.

The values given are % of the total capacity and NO numeric value is given so insufficient
If $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is pumped out, HALF will remain so $$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{3}- of -Total$$
so present volume is $$2*\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$$
but no numeric value
insuff

(2) If .75 kiloliter of gasoline were pumped into tank X, it would be filled to capacity.
nothing on present status..
we can say present = total - 0.75
insuff

combined
present volume = $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of total capacity = $$\frac{2T}{3}$$, which is 0.75 less than total
$$2\frac{T}{3} = T-0.75..............\frac{T}{3}=0.75................t=3*0.75$$
suff
