Question 60

A tank is to be filled completely with water for which 8 pipes of the same kind are used. The tank gets filled in 1 hour and 40 minutes. If 10 pipes of the same kind, as mentioned above, are used, in how much time (in hours and minutes) will the tank be completely filled?

Solution

A tank is to be filled completely with water for which 8 pipes of the same kind are used. The tank gets filled in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

It means that 8 pipes of the same efficiency can fill the tank in 1 hour 40 minutes (100 minutes). [1 hour =  60 minutes]
If 10 pipes of the same kind, as mentioned above, are used, then the time tank to be completely filled is 'y'.

$$8\times100 = 10\times y$$

$$800 = 10y$$

y = 80 minutes

As we know 1 hour = 60 minutes, so 80 minutes = 1 hour 20 minutes
