Question:

Pipe P can fill a tank alone in 7 hours. Pipe Q can fill the same tank alone in 13 hours. In how much time can they together fill the tank?

Options:

3 hours 18 minutes

3 hours 45 minutes

4 hours 12 minutes

4 hours 33 minutes

Correct Answer:

4 hours 33 minutes

Explanation:

P+ = 7 hrs,

Q+ = 13 hrs,

⇒ Time required by P + Q to fill the tank completely = \(\frac{91}{13+7}\) = \(\frac{91}{20}\) = \( {4 }_{20 }^{11 } \) hrs = 4 hrs 33 minutes.
