      Tap A is 200% more efficient than tap B. Both the taps

      together can fill the tank in 6 hours. Find the time taken by tap C, which is 100% more efficient than tap B, to fill the tank alone.
      A 15 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 12 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/3 hours According to question,
      1/x + 1/(x/3) = 1/6
      1/x + 3/x = 1/6
      x = 24 So, time taken by tap C to fill the tank = 24/2 = 12 hours
