Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
Let the capacity of tank = LCM of 2 and 2.5 = 10 units
Filling efficiency of pipe A = 10/2 = 5 units/hr
Emptying efficiency of pipe B = 10/2.5 = 4 units/hr
If both pipes are opened,
The tank will be filled in 10/(5-4) = 10/(1) = 10 hrs
So the answer is option A.
2) Answer (D)
Let the capacity of tank = LCM of 15 & 30 = 30 units
Efficiency of pipe P = 30/15 = 2 units/min
Efficiency of Pipe Q = 30/30 = 1 unit/min
Both pipes together can empty the half of the tank in 15/(2+1) = 15/3 = 5 mins
So the answer is option D.
3) Answer (C)
Let Total capacity of tank = LCM of 4 and 8 = 8
Efficiency of A = 8/4 = 2
Efficiency of B = 8/8 = 1
Tank can be filled by both pipes in 8/(2+1) hrs = 8/3 hrs = $2\frac{2}{3}$ hrs
So the answer is option C.
4) Answer (B)
Let the capacity of tank = LCM of 2&3 = 6 units
Efficiency of pipe A = 6/2 = 3
Efficiency of pipe B = 6/3 = 2
Both together can fill the tank in $\frac{6}{2+3} hrs = \frac{6}{5} hrs = 1\frac{1}{5}hrs$
So the answer is option B.
5) Answer (D)
Let the capacity of tank = LCM of 4 & 10 = 20 units
Efficiency of A = 20/4 = 5 units/hr
Efficiency of B = 20/10 = 2 units/hr
Effective work = 5 – 2 = 3 units/hr
So tank will be filled in $20/3 = 6\frac{2}{3}hrs = 6 hrs 40 mins$
So the answer is option D.

6) Answer (D)
Let the capacity of tank = LCM of 12 and 15 = 60 units
Efficiency of tap A = 60/12 = 5 units/hr
Efficiency of tap B = 60/15 = 4 units/hr
If both the taps are opened for 3 hrs, part of the tank that would be filled = (5+4)*3 = 27 units
Remaining part = 60 – 27 = 33 units
Tap B alone can fill 33 units of tank in 33/4 = $8\frac{1}{4} hrs = 8 hrs 15 mins$
So the answer is option D.
7) Answer (D)
8) Answer (A)
9) Answer (C)
10) Answer (B)
30000 litres = 30 $m^3$
2 minutes = 120 seconds
=> efficiency = 30 $m^3$/120 seconds = 0.25 $m^3/sec$
