A water tank is two-fifth full.Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe B can empty it in 6 minutes.If both the pipes are open, how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?
A.6 min.to empty
FeedbackClearly,pipe B is faster than pipe A and so,the tank will be emptied. part to be emptied = 2/5 part emptied by (A+B) in 1 minute=(1/6−1/10)=1/15 1/15:2/5::1:x 2/5*15=6mins so, the tank will be emptied in 6 min
B.9 min.to empty
C.6 min.to fill
D.9 min.to fill
These questions are from this test. Would you like to take a practice test?
