      Question

      Tap A is 100% more efficient than tap B. Both the taps

      together can fill the tank in 10 hours. Find the time taken by tap C, which is 25% more efficient than tap B, to fill the tank alone.
      A 27 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 24 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let, time taken by tap B to fill the tank be x hours,
      So, time taken by tap A to fill the tank = x/2 hours According to question,
      1/x + 1/(x/2) = 1/10
      1/x + 2/x = 1/10
      x = 30 So, time taken by tap C to fill the tank = 30/1.25 = 24 hours
