Petrol poured = 63 litres
Remaining empty = 1%
Formula Used:
Total capacity = Petrol poured / (1 - Empty percentage)
Calculations:
Let total capacity be C litres.
Filled percentage = 100% - 1% = 99%
63 = (99/100) × C
⇒ C = 63 × (100/99)
⇒ C = 6300 / 99
⇒ C = 63.64
∴ Total capacity of the tank ≈ 63.64 litres.
