There are m blue vessels with known volumes V1, V2,....., Vm arranged in ascending order of volumes, where V1 is greater than 0.5 litres and Vm is less than 1 litre. Each of these is full of water. The water is emptied into a minimum number of white empty vessels each having volume 1 litre. If the volumes of the vessels increases with the value of lower bound 10–1 .

Explanatory Answer
Method of solving this CAT Quantitative Ability Question from Algebra question
(c) From the above solution we can see that the eighth vessel is empty by 0.75 litres and hence that is the upper limit for the range. Further for the lower limit, make all the vessels equally full, which makes them all 0.1 parts empty. So, the option that satisfies the above condition is (c).
