Q: Answer-Two taps, A and B, can fill a cistern with a capacity of 576 liters in 36 minutes. If their filling...

Let the efficiencies of taps A and B be x and y respectively Then volume of tanktotal efficiency total taken time 576 x y 36 x y 57636 16 And their efficiencies are in the ratio 53 5a3a 16 a 2 efficiency of A 25 10 efficiency of B 23 6 time taken by tap B volume of tankefficiency of tap B 5766 96 minutes

576 liters in 36 minutes. If their filling efficiencies are in the ratio 5:3, determine how many minutes B alone would take to fill the cistern.

A 72

B 78

C 84

D 96

E 99
