A tyre has two punctures. The first puncture alone would have made the tyre flat in 9 minutes and the second alone would have done it in 6 minutes. If air leaks out at a constant rate, how long does it take both the punctures together to make it flat ?
A. 3(1/5)min
B.3(2/5)min
C.3(3/5)min
Feedback1 minute work done by both the punctures =(1/9+1/6)=(5/18) So both punctures will make the type flat in (18/5)mins=3(3/5)mins
D.3(4/5)min
These questions are from this test. Would you like to take a practice test?
