Question

    A2 type ‘P’ pipes can fill

    a tank in 540 hours, while B2 type ‘Q’ pipes can fill the same tank in 735 hours. (6A × 3B) type ‘P’ pipes can fill the same tank in how many hours? (Efficiency of a type P and a type Q pipe is same)
    A 30 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 35 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 32 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 38 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A2 x 540 = B2×735
    A2/B2 = 735/540
    A2/B2= 49/36
    A/B = 7/6
    A = 7B/6
    (6A × 3B) type 'P' pipes = 6 ×7B/6 ×3B = 21B2
    Required time = (B2×735)/(21 ×B2) = 35 hrs
