Pipe A alone can fill a tank in 8 hours. Pipe B alone can fill it in 6 hours. If both the pipes are opened and after 2 hours pipe A is closed, then pipe B will fill the tank in :नल A द्वारा एक टैंक को अकेले 8 घण्टे में, नल B द्वारा इसी टैंक को अकेले 6 घण्टे में भरा जा सकता है। यदि दोनों नलों को एक साथ 2 घण्टे के लिए खोलने के पश्चात् नल A को बन्द कर दिया जाए, तो नल B द्वारा बचा टैंक कब भर जाएगा ?

Correct answer: B. 2½ hours2½ घण्टे में
Explanation
In one hour A fills 1/8 and B fills 1/6, together 7/24. In 2 hours they fill 2 × 7/24 = 7/12, leaving 5/12 of the tank. B alone fills 1/6 per hour, so the remaining part takes (5/12) ÷ (1/6) = 2½ hours.एक घण्टे में A टैंक का 1/8 तथा B 1/6 भाग भरता है, दोनों मिलकर 7/24। 2 घण्टे में वे 2 × 7/24 = 7/12 भाग भर देते हैं, शेष 5/12 भाग बचता है। B अकेला प्रति घण्टा 1/6 भाग भरता है, अतः शेष भाग भरने में (5/12) ÷ (1/6) = 2½ घण्टे लगेंगे।More Mathematics & Numerical Ability questions
