Practicing Success
Pipe A can completely fill an empty tank in 11 hours. Pipe B can empty the same completely filled tank in 15 hours. If they are opened together, in how much time the empty tank will get filled? |
41 hours 15 minutes 49 hours 45 minutes 47 hours 30 minutes 39 hours 15 minutes |
41 hours 15 minutes |
A+ = 11 hrs, B- = 15 hrs, ⇒ Time required by A + B to completely fill the tank = \(\frac{165}{4}\) = \( {41 }_{ 4}^{1 } \) x 60 = 41 hours 15 minutes. |
