      Pipe A alone fill the tank in x hours and Pipe B alone

      fill the tank in (x – 5) hours. If the efficiency of pipe B is triple of pipe A and pipe A fill the tank is 40 liters per hour, then what is the capacity of the tank?
      A 480 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 360 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 525 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 300 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Pipe A alone fill 40 liters per hour, so Pipe B alone fill 120 liters per hour. Capacity of the tank = T => T/40 – T/120 = x – (x – 5) => 3T – T = 600 => T = 300 liters
