Question
An inlet pipe can fill an empty tank in 40 minutes
whereas an outlet pipe can empty the fully filled tank in 80 minutes. Find the time taken by both the pipes together to fill half of the empty tank.Solution
Let the total capacity of tank be 80 litres (LCM of 40 and 80)
Efficiency of inlet pipe = (80/40) = 2 litres/minute
Efficiency of outlet pipe = (80/80) = -1 litre/minute
Required time = (0.5 × 80) ÷ (2 - 1) = 40 minutes
