    Question

    Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 hours and 30

    hours respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, in how much time the tank will be filled completely?
    A 10 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Part filled by A in 1 hour = 1/20 ⇒ Part filled by B in 1 hour = 1/30 ⇒ Part filled by ( A + B) in 1 hour = 1/20 + 1/30 = 5/60 = 1/12   ∴ Hence, both the pipes together will fill the tank in 12 hours.
