      Question

      Two inlets X, Y fill the tank in 18 and 9 minutes.

      Outlet Z is 50% less efficient than X. β€˜X’ and β€˜Z’ open for 6 minutes, then X is replaced with Y. Find total time to fill the tank.
      A 14 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Tank = 18x units
      X = x, Y = 2x, Z = 0.5x
      6 mins: (x - 0.5x) Γ— 6 = 3x
      Remaining = 18x - 3x = 15x
      Net = 2x - 0.5x = 1.5x
      Time = 15x / 1.5x = 10 minutes
      Total = 6 + 10 = 16 minutes
