Choose the correct option.

Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 30 and 45 minutes respectively. Both are opened simultaneously, but after 10 minutes pipe A is closed. 10 minutes after that pipe B is closed and pipe A is reopened. How much more time does it take to fill the tank?


A6 2/3 minutes

B4 1/3 minutes

C19 minutes

D25 minutes

ENone of these

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Cistern part filled by pipe A in 1 min = 1/30
Similary Cistern part filled by pipe B in 1 min = 1/45
Cistern part filled by both (A+B) in 1 min = (1/30+1/45) = 5/90 = 1/18
Cistern part filled by both(A+B) in 10 min = 10 * 1/18 = 10/18 ----- (1)
Now Cistern part filled by pipe B in 10 min = 10/45 = 2/9 ------- (2)
Total cistern part filled so far = (10/18+2/9) = 14/18 = 7/9
remaining part = (1-7/9) = 2/9

Time required to fill 1/30 part of tank by A = 1 min
so for 2/9 part of tank, time needed = 30 * 2/9 = 20/3 = 6 2/3 min

+I7When both the pipes are open (1/30 + 1/45) of the tank is filled in 1 minute.
In the first 10 minutes (1/30 + 1/45) x 10 = 10/18 of the tank gets filled ....(1).
In the next 10 minutes, 10/45 of the tank is filled by pipe B ....(2)
Thus, adding (1) and (2) we get 7/9
Thus, 2/9 of the tank is to be filled by A
A takes 2/9 x 30 = 6 2/3 minutes to fill the tank

Choose the correct option.

Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed and A and B can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is:


A10 hrs

B12 hrs

C14 hrs

D16 hrs

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Tank part filled by pipes (A+B+C) in 1 hrs = 1/6 ------- (1)
so tank part filled by (A+B+C) in 2 hrs = 2*1/6 = 1/3
Now find the remaining part = (1-1/3) = 2/3

=> (A+B) 7 hs work = 2/3
so (A+B) 1 hrs work = 2/21 ------ (2)

To find the C 1 hrs work use eq. 1 & 2
=> 1/6-2/21 = 1/14
so C alone can fill the tank in 14 hrs.

Choose the correct option.

A tap can fill a tank in 6 hours. After half the tank is filled, three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time taken to fill the tank completely?


A3 hrs 15 min

B3 hrs 45 min

C4 hrs 15 min

D4 hrs 10 min

ENone of these

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Time taken by one tap to fill half tank = 3hrs.
Part filled by the four taps in 1 hrs = (4*1/6) = 2/3.

Remaining part = (1-1/2) = 1/2.
so 2/3 : 1/2 :: 1:x => x = 1/2*1*3/2) = 3/4 hrs. => 45 min.
=> Total time taken = 3 hrs 45 min.

A leak in bottom of tank can empty a full tank in 12 minutes. If the leak is not there then two pipes A and B can fill the tank in 15 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. If the leak is active and both the pipes are open then How much time will be required to fill the tank:


A30 minutes

B60 minutes

C23 minutes

D35 minutes

ENone of these

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Tank part filled by both (A+B) in 1 min = (1/15+1/20) = 7/60
Tank part can be empty by leak in 1 min = 1/12
So Tank part will be filled when Both taps and leak are active in 1 min = (7/60 - 1/12) = 2/60 = 1/30
=> 1/30 part of tank filled by both tap when leak is active = 1 min
=> Whole tank can be filled by both tap when leak is active = 30 min

Two taps can separately fill a cistern 10 minutes and 15 minutes respectively and when the waste pipe is open, they can together fill it in 18 minutes. The waste pipe can empty the full cistern in?


A7 min

B13 min

C23 min

D9 min

ENone of these

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Work done by third tap in 1 min = (1/18-1/10+1/15) = -10/90 = -1/9 (The negative value denote that emptying)
so the third tap alone can empty the cistern in 9 min.

There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in hour B can fills 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80,160. If B filled in (1/16) th of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill completely?


A17 hours

B5 hours

C7 hours

D7 1/2 hours

Answer: Option C

Explanation:


Tank filled by B in 3 hours=1/16

B fills double amount than in previous hour (from Given series 10,20,40,80,160)

So in 4 hours tank filled=2/16

In 5 hours tank filled=2*2/16=4/16

In 6 hours tank filled=2*4/16=8/16

In 7 hours tank filled=16/16=1  

So, it took 7 hours to fill the tank

One pipe can fill a tank three times as fast as another pipe. If together the two pipes can fill the tank in 36 minutes, then the slower pipe alone will be able to fill the tank in:


A81 min.

B108 min.

C144 min.

D192 min

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the slower pipe alone fill the tank in x minutes.

Then, faster pipe will fill it in x/3 minutes.
So, 1/x + 3/x = 1/36

=> 4/x = 1/36

=> x = 144 min.

A tank is fitted with 8 pipes, some of them that fill the tank and others that are waste pipe meant to empty the tank. Each of the pipes that fill the tank can fill it in 8 hours, while each of those that empty the tank can empty it in 6 hours. If all the pipes are kept open when the tank is full, it will take exactly 6 hours for the tank to empty. How many of these are fill pipes?


A4

B5

C1

D7

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the number of fill pipes be x and empty pipes be 8-x
Let one pipe in 1 hr fills 1/8th part of the tank then x pipes will fill x/8 part
Similarly 8-x pipes will empty (8-x)/6th part of the tank in 1 hour



Hence x/8 - (8-x)/6 =1/6 (All the pipes operating simultaneously so finding the result of 1 hr)



Solving for x we get as x= 4



So no. of fill pipes =no. of empty pipes=4

Pipe A usually fills a tank in 2 hours. On account of a leak at the bottom of the tank, it takes pipe A 30 more minutes to fill the tank. How long will the leak take to empty a full tank if pipe A is shut?


A14 hours

B15 hours

C10 hours

DNone of these

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Solution:



Pipe A takes 2 hours to fill the tank. Therefore, it fills half the tank in an hour or 50% of the tank in an hour.

When there is a leak it takes 2 hours 30 minutes for the tank to fill. i.e 5/2 hrs hours to fill the tank or 2/5th or 40% of the tank gets filled in 1 hr.



On account of the leak, (50−40)%=10% of the water gets wasted every hour. Therefore, the leak will take 10 hours to drain a full tank.
