C) 36 min | D) 42 min |
Answer: B) 32 min
Explanation:
Explanation:
Given that the diameters of the three pipes are 2 cm, 3 cm and 4 cm
From the given data,
Amount of water from three pipes is 4 units, 9 units and 16 units.
Let the capacity of cistern be 'p' units.
∴ p/58 = 16
⇒ p = 928 units.
In 1 minute, quantity to be filled by 3 pipes = 29 units
∴ Total time required = 928/29 = 32 minutes.
