Q)

Two pipes can fill a tank in 2h and 3h respectively. If both pipes are opened simultaneously, then how much time the tank will be full? 


  • Explanation

    According to the formula, if pipe A can comletely fill a tank in x hours and pipe B can comletely fill a tank in y hours, then the time taken by both pipes together to fill the tank is xyx+y hours.

    So, 2×32+3=65=1.2 hours

    The tank will be filled by both the pipe when opened simultaneously in 1.2 hours

    Hence option B is correct.
