let Conical tank contains x litres & Cylindrical tanks contains y litres initially
given,
y=(x+500) => x=(y-500) .........(1)

also,
2*(x-200)=(y-200)
=> 2(y-500-200)=y-200 [from(1)]
=> 2y-1400=y-200
=> y=1200

cylindrical initial quantity= y= 1200 litres

suppose conical has X liters => cylindrical has X+500 liters
now 200 liters taken from both so cylindrical becomes X+500-200=X+300
Conical becomes x-200.
cylindrical is twice that of conical=> X+300 = 2(X-200)
X+300 = 2X-400 =>X=700
initially cylinder have = X+500=700+500=1200

assume that both the tanks are having 1000LTS of quantity.then it is given in the question that cyllindrical is 500LTS more than conical then
cynd=1000+500=1500 and conical+500
reduce 200LTS frm both sides but we will see that conical is not the double than that of cyllindrical.
keep on reducing 1000 frm both sides then at 1200the situation fits.
cyndr=1200 and conical=1200-500=700(given in question)
then we have to reduce 200LTS.cyndr=1200-200=1000 and conical=700-500=500
we find that cylndrical is double than that of conical.

let the qty in conical tank=x
given cylinder has 500ltrs > conical tank, so x+500
200ltrs r taken frm both the tanks so the qty bcomes x-200 and (x+500)-200
and also given cylinder qty=2(qty in conical)
so,x+300=2(x-200)
x=700
therefore cylinder initial qty=x+500
=1200

conical x
cylindrical y=x+500
if 200 litres is taken from both tanks then
x-200=y-200
and also given that cylindrical is double that of conical
2(x-200)=(x+500)-200 substitute the value of y
2x-400=x+300
x=700
substitute x in y=x+500
y=700+500=1200

initialy 1200
conical=700 because cylinder have 500 greater
cylindrical=1200
after 200 took from both tank in cone,cylinder,500,1000 respectively
cone=2*cylinder
