    Question

    Pipe тАШAтАЩ can fill a tank in 45 hours. Pipe тАШBтАЩ

    can empty the same tank in 90 hours. If both are opened simultaneously, how long will it take to fill 60% of the tank?
    A 40 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 54 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the capacity of the tank be 180 litres. So, efficiency of pipe тАШAтАЩ = 180 ├╖ A = 4 litres/hour And efficiency of pipe тАШBтАЩ = 180 ├╖ B = 2 litres/hour So, combined efficiency of both pipes = 4 тАУ 2 = 2 litres/hour So, time taken to fill 60% of the tank = (180 ├Ч 0.60) ├╖ 2 = 108 ├╖ 2 = 54 hours
