So inlet pipe fills 3 units and outlet pipe empties 2 units. Thus, the effectively 1 unit is being filled every minute. Hence, 3 minutes are required.<\/p>\n Relative speed of the faster train = 18 km\/hr = 5 m\/s 7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n Quantity I: Given that Pipes A and B are opened for 4 hours. Quantity II: 12.6 min<\/p>\n Hence, Quantity I > Quantity II<\/p>\n 8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Quantity I: Then all three pipes can fill the tank in $\\frac{120}{6+4-2} = \\frac{120}{8} = 15 min$<\/p>\n Quantity II: 18 min 9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n It has been given that a pipe that fills the tank and a pipe that empties the tank, when opened simultaneously in a half-full tank, will empty the tank in 6 hours. Therefore, a completely full tank will be emptied in 12 hours when one filling pipe and one emptying pipe is opened. Time taken by 2 emptying pipes to empty a half-full tank is equal to the time taken by 4 emptying pipes to empty a full tank.<\/p>\n Time taken by one filling pipe to fill a tank that is already 75% full is equal to the time taken by 4 filling pipes to fill an empty tank.<\/p>\n Therefore, we are comparing the time taken by 4 filling pipes to fill an empty tank and the time taken by 4 emptying pipes to empty a full tank. Also, we know that an emptying pipe is more efficient than a filling pipe. Quantity 1 is greater than quantity 2 and hence, option A is the right answer.<\/p>\n 10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let the capacity of the tank be 50 units.
\nQuantity 2: Time taken by a train running at 54 km\/hr to overtake another train which is running at 36 km\/hr. The length of both the trains is 500 m.<\/p>\n
\nQuantity II: 12.6 min<\/p>\n
\nQuantity II: 18 minutes<\/p>\n
\nQuantity 1:Time taken by 1 filling pipe to fill a tank that is already 75% full.
\nQuantity 2:Time taken by 2 emptying pipes to empty a half-full tank<\/p>\n
\nQuantity 1: Time taken by A alone to fill the tank when it is empty.
\nQuantity 2: Time taken by C alone to empty the tank when it if full.<\/p>\n
\nSpeed pipe 1 = 16 $\\frac{units}{hours}$<\/p>\n
\n==> 432\/(a+b) = 24 ==> a+b = 432\/24 = 18
\na:b = 4:5 ==> a = 8, b=10.
\nEfficiency of tap B = Volume of the tank\/time taken
\n==> 10 = 432\/t ==> t = 43.2 minutes.<\/p>\n
\nSo the inlet pipe fills 5 litres per minutes and outlet pipe empties 3 litres per minute. For the first 5 minutes only inlet pipe is operating. Hence, it will fill 25 litres. For the next 8 minutes, only 2 litres is being filled per minute. Hence, at 10:13, 41 litres water will be there in the tank. Now 19 litres can be filled by the inlet pipe in 4 minutes and 48 seconds. Thus, the tank will be completely filled at 10:17:48.<\/p>\n
\nDistance to be covered = 1000 m.
\nTime required = 1000\/5 = 200 second = 3 minutes 20 seconds.<\/p>\n
\nLet the units of work done by pipes be 240 (LCM of 16,20,24)
\nEfficiency of Pipe A = 240\/16 = 15
\nEfficiency of PIpe B = 240\/20 = 12
\nEfficiency of Pipe C = 240\/(-24) = -10 (Negative indicates draining)<\/p>\n
\nPipes A and B can together fill 27 units in 1 hour.
\nPipes A and B can together fill 108 units in 4 hours.
\nRemaining \u2192 240-108 = 132 units
\nPipe C can empty 132 units of tank in 132\/10 = 13.2 min<\/p>\n
\nLet the total units be 120 (LCM of 20,30,60)
\nEfficiency of Pipe A = 120\/20 = 6 units\/min
\nEfficiency of Pipe B = 120\/30 = 4 units\/min
\nEfficiency of Pipe C = 120\/(-60) = -2 units\/min (Negative indicates Draining)<\/p>\n
\nHence, Quantity I < Quantity II<\/p>\n
\nWe can infer that the capacity of an emptying pipe is greater than the capacity of a filling pipe.<\/p>\n
\nLet A\u2019s efficiency be a, B\u2019s efficiency be b and C\u2019s efficiency be c.
\nA and B can fill the empty tank in 10 hours.
\n=> a + b = 5 ……..(i)
\nB and C can fill the empty tank in 25 hours.
\n=> b – c = 2……..(ii)
\nA and C can fill the empty tank in 50 hours.
\n=> a – c = 1 ……..(iii)
\nOn adding (ii) and (iii), we get
\na + b – 2c = 3
\nor, 5 – 2c = 3
\nor, c = 1
\nTherefore, a = 2 and b = 3
\nSo, efficiency of A to fill the tank is more than efficiency of C to empty the tank.
\nThus, Quantity 2 is greater than Quantity 1.
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
