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 I: Pipe P alone can fill the tank in 10 hours while pipe Q alone can fill the tank in 15 hours. Both pipes open alternatively. In how much time tank will get completely filled? Quantity II: 15 hours

Quantity II: 15 hours Correct Answer <span lang="EN-US" style=" line-height: 107%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Quantity I < Quantity II</span>
Quantity I:
Pipe P's 1 hour's work = 1/10
Pipe Q's 1 hour's work = 1/15
Pipe (P + Q)’s 2 hours work = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6
To fill the tank completely it will take 12 hours.
Quantity II: 15 hours
So, we can observe Quantity I < Quantity II.
