Two radii of frustum are, $r_1=20 cm$ and $r_2=15 cm$
As we know,
Volume of frustum of cone, $V=\frac{1}{3} \times \pi h \times\left(r_1^2+r_2^2+r_1 r_2\right)$
$\Rightarrow V=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times\left(20^2+15^2+20 \times 15\right)$
$\Rightarrow V=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 925$
$\Rightarrow V=20350 cm^3$
$\Rightarrow V=20.35 \text { litres }$
$\therefore$ Capacity of bucket is 20.35 litres
