    Question

    A2 type ‘P’ pipes can fill

    a tank in 300 hours, while B2 type ‘Q’ pipes can fill the same tank in 432 hours. (12A × 5B) 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 10 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A2 × 300 = B2 × 432
    A2/B2 = 432/300
    A2/B2 = 36/25
    A/B = 6/5
    A = 6B/5
    (12A × 5B) type 'P' pipes = 12 × 6B/5 × 5B = 72B2
    Required time = (B2 × 432)/(72 × B2) = 6 hrs
