      Question

      Inlet pipes 'A', 'B' fill a tank in 30 and 15 minutes

      respectively. Outlet pipe 'C' is 50% less efficient than A. β€˜A’ and β€˜C’ work for 15 minutes, then 'A' is replaced with 'B'. Find total time to fill the tank.
      A 25 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 28 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 33 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Tank = 30x units
      A = x, B = 2x, C = 0.5x
      15 mins: (x - 0.5x) Γ— 15 = 7.5x
      Remaining = 30x - 7.5x = 22.5x
      Net = 2x - 0.5x = 1.5x
      Time = 22.5x / 1.5x = 15 minutes
      Total time = 15 + 15 = 30 minutes
