Pipe P can fill a tank alone in 7 hours. Pipe Q can fill the same tank alone in 13 hours. In how much time can they together fill the tank?
P = 7 hrs
Q =13 hrs
Total work = lcm (7,13)= 91 hrs
P's effiency = $$91\div7$$ =13
Q's effiency = $$91\div13$$ =7
(P+Q)'s together takes = $$Total work\div total efficency$$
= $$91\div20$$
convert 91 hrs into minutes = $$91\times 60=5460$$
= $$5460\div20$$
= 273 min
= $$273\div60$$
=4 hours 33 minutes
