Question
Determine the time taken by a pipe R to empty a water
tank. Statement I: Pipe P and pipe Q can fill a water tank in 6 hours and 8 hours, respectively. If all pipes P, Q, and R are opened together, the time taken by all three pipes to fill the water tank is 120/23 hours. Statement II: Pipe P can fill the water tank in 6 hours, and the ratio of the efficiencies of pipes Q and R is 2:1. The question consists of two statements numbered "l and II" given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.Solution
ATQ, Statement I: Let, the total capacity of tank be 120 units. Efficiency of P = 120/6 = 20 units/hr Efficiency of Q = 120/8 = 15 units/hr Let, the efficiency of R be 'a' units/hr. So, 120/23 = 120/(20 + 15 – a) Or, 120/23 = 120/(35 – a) Or, a = 12 Time taken by pipe R to empty the water tank = 120/12 = 10 hours So, data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Statement I: We cannot determine the relation between pipes P, Q and R. So, data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
