____________
i)
ii) Pothole B is the biggest pothole.
iii) 9 mugs of pebbles fill the hole A whereas only 5 jugs are required to fill hole A.
Capacity of 9 mugs = Capacity of 5 jugs So, if we have to fill hole B, then the number of mugs required
= 18 = 2×9 So, number of jugs required to fill pothole B
= 2×5 = 10 Thus, 10 jugs are required to fill hole B.
