    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let the capacity of 1 bucket = x.

    Then, the capacity of tank = 25x.

     

    New capacity of bucket =\(\frac {2 } { 5} X\)

     Required number of buckets =\( \frac { 25X} { (2*/5 )} \)

    =[25x* X \(\frac { 5} { 2X } ]\)

    =\(\frac { 125 } { 2 } \)

    =62.5
