Last Answer : D Efficiency of filling faucet= 100/25 = 4% ⇒ Efficiency of leakage faucet = 100/50= 2% ⇒ Net filling efficiency = (4-2)% =2% So, t cistern can be filled in = 100/2 = 50 minutes
Description : A large cistern can be filled by 2 pipes P & Q in 120 mins and 80 mins respectively. How many mins will it take to fill the cistern from empty state if Q is used for half the time and P & Q fil it together for the other half? A) 2hrs B) 1hr C) 3hrs D) 4hrs
Last Answer : B Part filled by (P+Q) in 1 min = 1/120 + 1/80 =2+3/240 = 5/240 = 1/48 Suppose the cistern is filled in x mins then, x/2 (1/48 + 1/80) = 1 x/2(5+3/240)=1 8x/480 = 1 x=480/8 x= 60 mins or 1 hr
Description : A Bunker has a leak which would empty the completely filled bunker in 20 hours. If the bunker is full of water and a tap is opened which admits 4 litres of water per minutes in the bunker, how many litres does the bunker holds? A) 2400 B) 4500 C) 4800 D) 7200
Last Answer : C Leak emptied the bunker per hour = 100/20 = 5% of water per hour; Quantity of water emptied per hour = 4*60 = 240; Thus, 5% = 240 liter; Hence, capacity of water, 100% = 240*100/5= 4800 liter.

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
