A water tap fills a tub in 'p' hours and a sink at the bottom empties it in 'q' hours. If p < q and both tap and sink are open, the tank is filled in 'r' hours; thenÂ
It is given ,A water tap fills a tub in 'p' hours and a sink at the bottom empties it in 'q' hours.
Total time to fill the tank will be
$$\frac{1}{p} - \frac{1}{q}$$Â
So, the answer would be option b)$$ \frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{p} - \frac{1}{q} $$
