Relate Quarries: two water taps together fill a tank in 9 hours 36 minutes, two water taps together can fill a tank in 15/8 hours, two water taps together can fill a tank in 2 11/12, two water taps together fill a tank in 6 hours, two water taps together can fill a tank in 3 1/13, two water taps together can fill a tank in 100/9 hours, two water taps together can fill a tank in 3 hours 45 minutes, two pipes running together can fill a tank in 11 1/9.
Solution:
Let the time taken by smaller tap to fill the tank completely = x hours
∴ Time taken by larger tap to fill the tank completely = (x - 10) hours
Volume of tank filled by smaller tap in 1 hour = 1 / x
Volume of tank filled by larger tap in 1 hour = 1 / x-10
Given, Tank is completely filled by both taps together in = 75 / 8 hours
Volume Of Tank filled by both taps in 1 hour=
A/Q
Volume of tank filled by smaller tap in 1 hour + Volume of tank filled by larger tap in 1 hour = Volume Of Tank filled by both taps in 1 hour
If
Then, x - 10
hours
Time can't be negative.
If x = 25
Then, x - 10 = 25 - 10 = 15 hours
∴ Time taken by Smaller tap to fill the tank completely = 25 hours
∴ Time taken by Larger tap to fill the tank completely = 15 hours
