Given below are quantities named A,B and C. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose among the possible answer. Quantity A: Tap1 and Tap2 can fill the tank in 16 hours and 25 hours respectively. Both the taps opened together. After some time Tap 1 is closed and after that the tank is filled in 12 hours. In how many hour Tap 1 and 2 work together? Quantity B: Three taps 1, 2, 3 can fill a cistern in 10,14,18 hours respectively. If tap 1 is kept open all the time and tap 2 and 3 is opened alternatively for an hour then find in how many hours the tank will be filled? Quantity C: Two taps 1 and 2 are such that tap 1 fills the tank in 10 hours and tap2 empties it in 20 hours. If tap 1 is opened first and after 5 hours tap 1 is closed and tap 2 is opened, then the tank emptied in x hours and find the value of x?
In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Pipe A takes thrice the time taken by Pipe B to fill a tank. Together they can fill the tank in 15 hours, tank A and B is opened together for 4 hours and then Pipe A is closed and after 2 more hours Pipe B is closed and an outlet Pipe C is opened which when working alone can empty the tank in 10 hours. Calculate the time taken by C to empty the tank. Quantity B: A pipe A can fill the tank in 10 hours another pipe B can fill the tank in 15 hours and with the help of third pipe C they can fill the tank in 5 hours. Pipe A is opened for 4 hours then it is closed, pipe B is closed 3 hours before filling of tank and tank C is opened the whole time. Calculate the time taken to fill the tank

Tap A and B can fill the tank in 20 hours and 25 hours respectively. Tap C and D can empty the tank in 40 hours and 60 hours respectively. Tap A and B opened till half of the tank is filled. Then, tap A, B and C opened to fill 1/4th of tank gets filled. To fill remaining tank, all four taps are opened. Approximately, in what time tank will completely filled?
Tap A alone can fill the tank in 30 hours while tap B alone can fill the tank in 12 hours. Tap C empties the filled tank. When all three taps are opened then the tank gets emptied in 20 hours. In what time the tank gets emptied when Tap C is opened after 1/4th of the tank is filled by tap A and tap B?
In a public bathroom there are n taps 1,2,3...n. Tap1 and Tap2 take equal time to fill the tank while Tap3 takes half the time taken by Tap2 and Tap4 takes half the time taken by Tap3. Similarly each next number of tap takes half the time taken by previous number of Tap i.e, K-th Tap takes half the time taken by (K-1)th Tap.If the 10th tap takes 2 hours to fill the tank alone then what is the ratio of efficiency of 8th tap and 12th tap, respectively?
The following questions have three statements. Study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question. In how many hours tap B can fill the completely empty tank? Statement I: The inlet tap A and the outlet tap C working simultaneously takes 40 hours to fill the tank. Statement II: Efficiency of inlet tap B is equal to efficiency of outlet tap C or 62.5% of the efficiency of inlet tap A. Statement III: The outlet tap C can empty a half filled tank in 12 hours.
The tank has two taps. Tap A is to fill the tank and tap B is to empty the tank. If only tap A can fill the tank in 35 hours, only tap B can empty the filled tank completely in 70 hours. Find how many hours it will take to fill the half empty tank completely.
Three pipes x, y and z can fill a tank A can fill it in 4 minutes. Two pipes p and q are connected to tank B. how much time does it take for both tanks to run at the full capacity? Ratio of time taken to fill tank A by P and time taken by x to fill tank A is 2: 1 and ratio of time taken by Q to fill tank B and Z to fill tank A is 5: 3. Pipe P is 20% more efficient then pipe Q. and pipe Y takes 12 minutes to fill the tank. Capacity of tank B is 3/4 times of tank A. Note: Tank B is to be filled only after filling tank A. Valves of pipe p and q are closed once tank B is running at full capacity.
There is a leakage at the bottom of tank which can empty the tank in 24 hours. Two taps A and B alone can fill the tank in 12 hours and 18 hours respectively. If tap A alone opened for first two hours while tap B opened for next two hours. After 4 hours, both taps are opened simultaneously. In what time tank gets completely filled?
