Answer

The amount of blood in each ventricle at the end of ventricular diastole is called the end diastolic volume(EDV). This is about 130 mls..

Work Step by Step

At atrial systole the atria contract and force about 25 mls of blood into each ventricle. Added to the 105 mls of blood already in the ventricles, this makes about 130 mls of blood in the each ventricle at the end of atrial systole which marks the end of ventricular diastole.
