Q:
A) 3 minutes | B) 2 minutes |
C) 4 minutes | D) 5 minutes |
Answer: D) 5 minutes
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by K = 3 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by L = 15 liters.
Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both K and L in 1 minute = 18 liters.
Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18 = 5 minutes.
