      Question

      Pipe β€˜A’ can fill a tank in 20 hours while pipe

      β€˜B’ takes 25 hours to empty it. Pipe β€˜A’ is opened alone when the tank was empty and after 14 hours pipe β€˜B’ is also opened. In how much time will the tank get filled completely?
      A 40 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 41 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 44 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 43 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total capacity of the tank be 100 units Efficiency of pipe β€˜A’ = 100/20 = 5 units/hour Efficiency of pipe β€˜B’ = 100/25 = 4 units/hour Tank filled in 14 hours = 14 Γ— 5 = 70 units Therefore, required time taken to fill the remaining tank = (100 – 70)/(5 – 4) = 30 hours Therefore, total time taken = 14 + 30 = 44 hours
