Question
An inlet can fill an empty tank in 7 hours whereas an outlet pipe can empty it in 14 hours. If (N - 1) such outlet pipes having same efficiency and (N + 2) such inlet pipes having same efficiency are opened together, then the tank gets filled in 2 hours. How many inlet pipes are used?
Required number of inlet pipes used = N+2 = 2+2 = 4More Pipes and cisterns Questions
