pipe A can fill a tank of capacity 350 liters in 7/2 minutes. Pipe B can fill a tank of capacity 780 liters in 26/3 minutes. How long (in min) will it take to fill a tank of capacity 1615 liters, if both pipes are opened together?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 17/2
| Understanding | Application |
| Tricks |
The capacity of pipe A = 350/(7/2) = 100 liter/min & The capacity of pipe B = 780/(26/3) = 90 liters/min |
| Hence |
Together 1615/(100 + 90) = 1615/190 = 17/2 |
