Description : Pipes P, Q and R which fill the tank together in 12 hours are opened for 2hours after which pipe R was closed. Find the number of hours taken by pipe R to fill the tank if the remaining tank is filled in 14 hours. A) 16 B) 14 C) 20 D) 42

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

Description : A cistern is filled in 15 hours by three pipes P, Q and R. The pipe R is thrice as fast as Q and Q is thrice as fast as P. How much time will pipe P alone take to fill the tank? A) 120 hrs B) 195 hrs C) 135 hrs D) Cannot be determined 

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.
