Question
Pipe βAβ can fill a tank in 12 hours whereas pipe
βBβ can empty it in 30 hours. If both pipes are opened together while pipe βBβ is closed after 5 hours, then find the time taken by pipe βAβ to fill the rest of the tank.Solution
ATQ; Let the capacity of the tank be 60 litres. {LCM (12 and 30)} Efficiency of inlet pipe βAβ = (60/12) = 5 litres/hour Efficiency of outlet pipe βBβ = (60/30) = 2 litres/hour Combined efficiency of both pipes = (5 β 2) = 3 litres/hour Required time = {60 β (3 Γ 5)} Γ· 5 = 9 hours
