When the tank is full, the inlet is opened and due to the leak, the tank is empty in 80 hours. How many litres does the tank hold? A) 8000 litre B) 9560 litre C) 8525 litre D) 9600 litre

Description : A tank can be filled by an inlet tap at the rate of 8 litres per minute. A leak in the bottom of a tank can empty the full tank in 16 hours. When the tank is full, the inlet is opened and due to ... hours. How many litres does the tank hold? A) 8000 litre B) 9560 litre C) 8525 litre D) 9600 litre

Last Answer : D Part emptied by the leak in 1 hour = 1/16 part filled by (leak & inlet open) in 1 hour = 1/80 Part filled by the inlet tap in 1 hour = 1/16 – 1/80 = 1/20 Inlet tap fills the tank in = 20 hours Inlet tap fills water at the rate of 8 litres a minute. Capacity of tank = 20 * 60 * 8= 9600 litre

A dumper is filled in 15hrs by 3 tubes P,Q,and R. the tube R is thrice as fast as Q and Q is thrice as fast as P. How much time will tube Q alone take to fill the tank? A) 195hrs B) 190hrs C) 185hrs D) 180hrs

Description : A dumper is filled in 15hrs by 3 tubes P,Q,and R. the tube R is thrice as fast as Q and Q is thrice as fast as P. How much time will tube Q alone take to fill the tank? A) 195hrs B) 190hrs C) 185hrs D) 180hrs

Last Answer : A Suppose tube P alone takes x hrs to fill the tank Then tubes Q and R will take x/3 and x/9 hrs respectively to fill the dumper. Therefore 1/x + 3/x+ 9/x = 1/15 13x = 1/15 X = 195 hrs

Tap 1 can fill a tank in 10 hrs , tap 2 in 20 hrs and tap 3 in 60 hrs. if all the taps are open, in how many hour will the tank be filled? A) 3 hrs B) 5 hrs C) 7hrs D) 6 hrs

Description : Tap 1 can fill a tank in 10 hrs , tap 2 in 20 hrs and tap 3 in 60 hrs. if all the taps are open, in how many hour will the tank be filled? A) 3 hrs B) 5 hrs C) 7hrs D) 6 hrs

Last Answer : D Net part filled in 1 hr = 1/10 + 1/20 + 1/60 = 6 + 3 + 1/60 = 10/60 = 1/6 Therefore all the 3 taps together fill tank in 6 hrs

Two taps can fill a tank in 4 hours and 5 hours .If two taps are operate simultaneously, In how much time will the tank be filled ? A) 4hrs 18min B) 10min 12min C) 2hrs 13min D) 12hrs 10min

Description : Two taps can fill a tank in 4 hours and 5 hours .If two taps are operate simultaneously, In how much time will the tank be filled ? A) 4hrs 18min B) 10min 12min C) 2hrs 13min D) 12hrs 10min

Last Answer : C 1/(A+B) =1/4 + 1/5 = (5+4)/20 = 9/20 =>20/9=2hrs 13min to filled the tank
