    Pipe тАШAтАЩ can fill a tank in 10 hours whereas pipe

    тАШBтАЩ can empty it in 20 hours. If both pipes are opened together while pipe тАШBтАЩ is closed after 4 hours, then find the time taken by pipe тАШAтАЩ to fill the rest of the tank.
    A 12 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; Let the capacity of the tank be 20 litres. {LCM (10 and 20)} Efficiency of inlet pipe тАШAтАЩ = (20/10) = 2 litres/hour Efficiency of outlet pipe тАШBтАЩ = (20/20) = 1 litre/hour Combined efficiency of both pipes = (2 тАУ 1) = 1 litre/hour Required time = {20 тАУ (1 ├Ч 4)} ├╖ 2 = 8 hours
