Q: Answer-Pipe ‘A’ can fill a tank in 16 hours. Pipe ‘B’ is ____% as efficient as pipe ‘A’. If both pipes are...

Let the capacity of the tank be 80x litres. So, efficiency of pipe A 80x 16 5x litreshour For I Efficiency of pipe B 5x 0.60 3x litreshour Time taken by both pipes together to fill the tank 80x 3x 5x 10 hours Therefore, statement I is true. For II Efficiency of pipe B 5x 0.75 3.75x litreshour Time taken by both pipes together to fill the tank 80x 3.75x 5x 9.14 hours Therefore, statement II is not true. For III Efficiency of pipe B 5x 1.4 7x litreshour Time taken by both pipes together to fill the tank 80x 7x 5x 6.66 hours Therefore, statement III is not true

is ____% as efficient as pipe ‘A’. If both pipes are opened simultaneously, the tank will be completely full in ____hours. The values given in which of the following options will fill the blanks in the same order in which is it given to make the statement true: I. 60, 10 II. 75, 8.5 III. 140, 7
