please provide the explanation of 1/3x.

Question:
1/2 of an aquarium is full of water when we tilt the aquarium in such a way that the water touches its diagonal. After tilted, 1/3 of an aquarium is full of water. In this process 32 litres of water flows out. Find the capacity of aquarium ?
Options:
A) 112 litres 
B) 64 litres 
C) 96 litres 
D) 192 litres 
Solution:
Ans: (d) Let capacity of aquarium = x

ATQ,  

\(\left ( \cfrac {1}{2} x - \cfrac{1}{3} x\right ) \ = 32 \)

\(\cfrac{3x - 2x}{6}\) = 32 

x = 192 litres

the question is wrong , there is no mention of 1/3 of the aquarium , how we are supposed to assume it .
diagonal always divides a quadrilateral in 1/2 of area.
