    Question

    If a tank can be filled by a tap in 14 hours, but due to

    an outlet, it actually takes 4 hours longer to fill the tank, find the duration in which the outlet alone would empty the tank?
    A 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 63 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 14 and 18 = 126 Efficiency of A = 9 Efficiency of (A – B) = 7 Efficiency of B = 9 – 7 = 2 Tap B will empty the tank = 126/2 = 63 So, tap B will empty the tank in 63 hours.
