Question

Pipe A alone fill the tank in x hours and Pipe B alone fill the tank in (x – 7) hours. If the efficiency of pipe B is double of pipe A and pipe A fill the tank is 45 liters per hour, then what is the capacity of the tank?

A 675 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 660 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 600 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 630 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Pipe A alone fill 45 liters per hour, so Pipe B alone fill 90 liters per hour. Capacity of the tank = T => T/45 – T/90 = x – (x – 7) => 2T – T = 630 => T = 630 liters
