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?

Pipe A can fill the tank in 6 hours, while pipe B can fill it in 8 hours working separately. Pipe C can empty whole tank in 10 hours. A man opened the pipe A and B simultaneously to fill the empty tank. He wanted to adjust an alarm so that he could open pipe C when tank is half filled but mistakenly set alarm for time when tank is 3/4th filled. What is the difference between both the cases to fill tank fully?

Option 5 : 3

Given:

Total number of taps = 9

Time taken by each inlet tap to fill the tank = 20 hours

Time taken by each outlet tap to empty the tank = 30 hours

Total time taken to fill the tank = 5 hours

Concept used:

Total work = Time taken × Efficiency

And, Total efficiency = efficiency of inlet taps – efficiency of outlet taps

Calculation:

Let total number of inlet taps be x

Total number of outlet taps be (9 – x)

L.C.M of 20 and 30 = 60 units = Total work

Total time taken to fill the tank = 5 hours

Efficiency of all 9 taps = 60/5 = 12 units

Efficiency of each inlet tap = 60/20 = 3 units

Now, Efficiency of x inlet taps = 3x

Efficiency of each outlet tap = 60/30 = 2 unit

Efficiency of (9-x) outlet taps = (18 - 2x)

So, Total efficiency of 9 taps = efficiency of inlet taps – efficiency of outlet taps

⇒ Total efficiency of 9 taps = 2x – (18 – 2x)

So, 3x – (18 – 2x) = 12

⇒ 5x – 18 = 12

⇒ 5x = 30

⇒ x = 6

⇒ Outlet taps = (9 – 6) = 3

∴ The number of outlet taps is 3
