Last Answer : B Efficiency when both pipes used to fill = A + B And efficiency when Faucet A is used to fill and Faucet B is used to empty the tank = A-B So (A+B)/(A-B)=3/1 A/B+1/(A/B-1)=3/1 A/B+1=3(A/B-1) 3A/B-A/B=4 2A/B=4 A/B=2 Thus, the ratio of efficiency of Faucet A and B =2:1
Description : A tank is 1/4th full. Two pipes which fill the tank in 30minutes and 40 minutes respectively are opened simultaneously. After 10 minutes, a third pipe which empties the full tank in 60 minutes is also opened. In how many minutes the tank will be full? A) 14 B) 12 C) 15 D) 17
Last Answer : A Since 1/4th is already filled, 3/4th is to filled now. (1/30 + 1/40)*(10+x) – (1/60)*x = ¾ 7/120(10+x)-x/60=3/4 7x-2x/120=3/4-7/12 5x/120=1/6 30x=120 X=4 So total 10+4=14minutes

Last Answer : D 1/P + 1/Q + 1/R = 1/12 Now given that first all open for 2hours, then R closed and P+Q completes in 14 hours, so (1/P + 1/Q + 1/R) *2 + (1/P + 1/Q)*14 = 1 Put 1/P + 1/Q = 1/12 – 1/R (1/12 – 1/R + 1/R) *2 + (1/12 – 1/R)*14 = 1 1/6+ 14/12 – 14/R = 1 Solve, R = 42

Last Answer : B Suppose pipe P alone takes x hours to fill the tank. Then, pipes Q and R will take x/3 and x/9hours respectively to fill the tank. 1/x + 3/x + 9/x = 1/15 13/x = 1/15 => x = 195 hrs.

Last Answer : C X= 24+12 = 36 X+Y= 1/24 Y= 1/24 – 1/36 = 3-2/72 = 1/72 Y= 72 X alone= 72-24 = 48 HRS
Description : Two pipe P & Q fill a tab in 5 hrs and 20 hrs respectively. If both the pipes are open then due to the leakage, it took 30mins more to fill the tab. If the tab is full, how long will it take for the leakage alone to empty the tank? A) 28 B) 24 C) 36 D) 12
Last Answer : C Part filled by(P+Q) in 1 hr = 1/5 + 1/20 = ¼ So P & Q together can fill the tank in 4 hrs. Work done by the leak in 1 hr = 1 / 4 - 2/9 Leak will empty the tank in 36 hrs.
