      Question

      Pipe 'A' alone takes 15 minutes to fill half of the

      tank. Pipe 'B' is 4 times as efficient as pipe 'A'. Find the percentage of the tank filled by both in 5 minutes.
      A 66.67% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 83.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 100% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Full tank time = 15 × 2 = 30 minutes A’s efficiency = x units/min Tank capacity = 30x units B’s efficiency = 4x units/min Work in 5 minutes = (x + 4x) × 5 = 25x units Percentage filled = (25x / 30x) × 100 = 83.33%
