Practice Test Discussion

Q)

A tank is normally filled by one pipe A in 20 min and pipe B in 25 min. Both the pipes are kept open for 5 min and then pipe B is closed. In how many more minutes will the tank be fully filled?


  • Explanation

    As per the question,

    In 5 minutes both the pipes together can fill,

    5×120+125=520+525=14+15=920th pat of tank

    Part filled by first pipe,

    1-920=1120th part

    So, 

    18×618-6=10812=9 minutes

    Hence in 9 Minutes the waste pipe can empty the full cistern.

    Hence option A is correct.
