A tank has two leakages. The first leakage alone can empty the tank in 9 min and the second alone would have done it in 6 min. If water leaks out at a constant rate , how long does it take both the leakage together to empty the tank?

A tank has two leakages. The first leakage alone can empty the tank in 9 min and the second alone would have done it in 6 min. If water leaks out at a constant rate , how long does it take both the leakage together to empty the tank? Correct Answer 3.6 min

1st leakage, in 9 min can empty = 1 part " 1 " " " " = 16" Both the leakage in 1 min together to empty the tank  =  19 + 16 Part   = 2 + 318" = 518 Part.'. 518 Part can empty  =  1min1 "  "  "  "  = 15 "   = 185 " =  3.6 min

A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-ninth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-sixth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one -third as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours.

How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
