Given

Total water  = 5 litre.

i) The amount of water vidya consumed :

=\frac{2}{5}\:\:o\!f 5\:liter=\frac{2}{5}\times5=2\:liter

Hence vidya consumed 2 liters of water from the bottle.

ii) The amount of water Pratap consumed :

=\left (1-\frac{2}{5} \right )\:\:o\!f 5\:liter=\frac{3}{5}\times5=3\:liter

Hence, Pratap consumed 3 liters of water from the bottle.
