Question:

15 taps can fill a tank in 36 minutes. How many taps will be required to fill the tank in one hour?

Options:

12

9

8

6

Correct Answer:

9

Explanation:

Formula to be used here,

\( {V}_{1 } \) x \( { T}_{1 } \)  = \( { V}_{2 } \) x \( { T}_{2 } \)

where, V = Taps, T = Time in minutes,

⇒ Putting values in the formula,

⇒ 15 x 36 = \( { V}_{2 } \) x 60

\( { V}_{2 } \) = 9.
