      Question

      Pipe β€˜A’ takes 30 hours to fill a tank. Pipe β€˜B’

      takes 90 hours to empty the same tank. If they are opened together, then 60% of the tank will be filled in how many hours?
      A 27 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 24 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 33 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the capacity of the tank be 180 litres.
      So, efficiency of pipe β€˜A’ = 180 Γ· A = 6 litres/hour And efficiency of pipe β€˜B’ = 180 Γ· B = 2 litres/hour So, combined efficiency of both pipes = 6 – 2 = 4 litres/hour So, time taken to fill 60% of the tank = (180 Γ— 0.60) Γ· 4 = 108 Γ· 4 = 27 hours
