    Question

    A2 type ‘P’ pipes can fill

    a tank in 450 hours, while B2 type ‘Q’ pipes can fill the same tank in 648 hours. (10A × 6B) 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 7 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A2×450 = B2×648
    A2/B2 = 648/450
    A2/B2= 36/25
    A/B = 6/5
    A = 6B/5
    (10A × 6B) type 'P' pipes = 10 ×6B/5 ×6B = 72 B2
    Required time = (B2×648)/(72 ×B2) = 9 hrs
