The given question is followed by two statements; select the most appropriate option that solves the question. Capacity of a solution tank A is 70 % of the capacity of tank B. How many gallons of solution are in tank A and tank B? Statements: I) Tank A is 80% full and tank B is 40% full. II) Tank A if full contains 14,000 gallons of solution.

The given question is followed by two statements; select the most appropriate option that solves the question. Capacity of a solution tank A is 70 % of the capacity of tank B. How many gallons of solution are in tank A and tank B? Statements: I) Tank A is 80% full and tank B is 40% full. II) Tank A if full contains 14,000 gallons of solution. Correct Answer Both the statements I and II together are sufficient.

Given,

Capacity of a solution tank A is 70% of the capacity of tank B.

From statement 1: Tank A is 80% full and tank B is 40% full.

Alone with statement 1, we can’t find the gallons of solution in tank A and tank B.

From statement 2: Tank A if full contains 14,000 gallons of solution.

Alone with statement 2, we can't find the gallons of solution in tank A and tank B

Now, combining statement 1 and 2.

Gallons of solution in tank A = 80% of 14000 = 11200 gallons

We know that Solution in tank A is 70% of the capacity of tank B.

∴ Capacity of tank B = 14000/0.7 = 20000 gallons

Gallons of solution in tank B = 40% of 20000 = 8000 gallons

∴ Both the statements I and II together are sufficient.

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.

Two pipes are connected to tank 1 and one pipe connects tank 1 and tank 2 at the bottom of both tanks. At first pipe A and pipe B will filling tank 1 and then pipe C would be opened to fill tank 2. Capacity of tank 1 is twice capacity of tank 2. Pipe C takes 8 minutes to fill the whole tank 2 wherein discharging capacity of pipe C is 62.5 liters per minute. Ratio of time taken by pipe A and B to fill the tank when operating alone is 4 : 5 then find approximate discharging capacity of pipe A and B in liters/ minute if both the pipes discharge equal amount of water in tank. Time taken by pipe A and B to fill the tank 1 is 20/ 3 minutes
