Question
Pipe P can fill a tank in 5 hours, but pipe Q can empty
it completely in 20 hours. If both are opened together, find the time needed to fill the tank.Solution
Let tank capacity = 20 litres {LCM (5 and 20)} Efficiency of filling pipe P = (20/5) = 4 units/hour Efficiency of emptying pipe Q = (20/20) = 1 unit/hour Net working efficiency = 4 – 1 = 3 units/hour Required time = (20/3) = 6.66 hours
