Question:
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 36 hours and 45 hours respectively. If
both the pipes are opened simultaneously, how much time will be taken to fill
the tank? [दो पाइप A तथा B एक टंकी को क्रमशः 36 घंटे और 45 घंटे में
भर सकते हैं. यदि दोनों पाइप एक साथ खोल दिए जायें, तो कितने समय में वह टंकी भर
जाएगी?] [Ans. (d) 20 hours]
(a) 30 hours (b) 24 hours
(c) 25 hours (d) 20 hours (e) None of these
Solution:
Detailed Explanation:
Concept:
(1) If an inlet pipe A can fill
a tank in “x” hours and another inlet pipe B can fill the same tank “y” hours,
then both the inlet pipes together can fill the whole tank in xy/(x+y) hours.
(2) If an outlet pipe A can
make a tank empty in “x” hours and another outlet pipe B can make the same tank empty “y” hours, then both the outlet pipes together can make the whole tank empty in xy/(x+y) hours.
(3) If an inlet pipe A can
fill a tank in “x” hours, another inlet pipe B can fill the tank in “y” hours
and a third inlet pipe C can fill the same tank “z” hours, then all the three inlet
pipes together can fill the whole tank in 1/(1/x+1/y+1/z) hours or, xyz/(xy+yz+zx) hours.
(4) If an outlet pipe A can
make a tank empty in “x” hours, another outlet pipe B can make the tank empty
in “y” hours and a third outlet pipe C can make the same tank empty in “z” hours,
then all the three outlet pipes together can make the whole tank empty in
1/(1/x+1/y+1/z) hours or, xyz/(xy+yz+zx) hours.
(5) If an inlet pipe A can
fill a tank in “x” hours and an outlet pipe B can make the tank empty in “y” hours; then if both the pipes are opened together, then the tank will be filled or emptied in xy/(y-x) hours.
First Method: Given that two pipes
A and B can fill a tank in 36 hours and 45 hours respectively, so both together
can fill the tank in
(36×45)/(36+45) = (36×45)/(81)
= 20 hours Ans.
Second Method: Since two pipes
A and B can fill a tank in 36 hours and 45 hours respectively, so the parts of the tank filled by them in one hour are respectively 1/36 and 1/45.
The total part filled by both
the pipes A and B together in one hour is 1/36+1/45 = 81/(36 ×45) = 1/20.
Therefore, the whole tank will
be filled by the pipes A and B together in 20 hour. Ans.
