      Question

      If a tank can be filled by a tap in 12 hours, but due to

      an outlet, it actually takes 6 hours longer to fill the tank, find the duration in which the outlet alone would empty the tank?
      A 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let tap β€˜A’ fill the tank and tap β€˜B’ empty the tank. Taking LCM of 12 and 18 = 36 Efficiency of A = 3 Efficiency of (A – B) = 2 Efficiency of B = 3 – 2 = 1 Tap B will empty the tank = 36/1 = 36 So, tap B will empty the tank in 36 hours.
