    Question

    Quantity I.┬а Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 12

    minutes and 16 minutes respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, after how much time should B be closed so that the tank is full in 9 minutes? Quantity II. Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 minutes and 48 minutes respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, after how much time should B be closed so that the tank is full in 18 minutes?
    A Quantity I тЙе Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Quantity I < Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Quantity I тЙдQuantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Quantity I > Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Quantity I = Quantity II or No relation can be established Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity I. Let B be closed after x minutes. Let total capacity of tank = LCM (12 & 16) = 48 L So AтАЩ 1 min work = 48/12 = 4L BтАЩs 1 min work = 48/16 = 3L So as per the question, 4├Ч9 +3├Чx= 48 or 3x = 12 or x =4min Quantity II. Let B be closed after┬а minutes. Let total capacity of tank = LCM (24 & 48) = 48 L So AтАЩ 1 min work = 48/24 = 2L BтАЩs 1 min work = 48/48 = 1L So as per the question, 18├Ч2 +1├Чx= 48 or x = 12 Hence Quantity I < Quantity II
