Here in 2nd column if you add the individual digits

we get 3 + 7 + 0 =10 , 2 + 2 + 4 = 8 , 7 + 3 + 0 = 10

7 10 3 --> 7+3 =10

6 8 2 --> 6+2 =8

x 10 1 --> x+1 =10

Here we can observe that by adding 1st and 3rd column elements we get 2nd column elements

--> x = 9

Q:

Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The interior of tank A has a height of 10 meters and a circumference of 8 meters, and the interior of tank B has a height of 8 meters and a circumference of 10 meters. The capacity of tank A is what percent of the capacity of tank B ?

A) 76%	B) 72%
C) 80%	D) 82%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80%

Explanation:

circumference of A = $2 πr$ = 8 => so r = $\frac{4}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{4}{π})}^{2} \times 10$ = $\frac{160}{π}$
circumference of B = $2 πr$ = 10 => so r = $\frac{5}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{5}{π})}^{2} \times 8$ = $\frac{200}{π}$
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
