A water tank is two-fifth full. Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe Bcan empty it in 6 minutes. If both the pipes are open, howlong will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?
1.) 6 min. to empty 2.) 6 min. to fill 3.) 9 min. to empty 4. ) 9 min. to fill5.) None of these?
The answer is: 1.) 6 min to empty
In one min, pipe A fills 1/10 of the tank, and pipe B empties 1/6 of the tank.
Since 1/6 > 1/10, the tank will be emptied when both the pipes are open.
The tank is only 2/5 full.
Time taken to empty the tank = (2/5) ÷ [(1/6) - (1/10) min = 6 min

When the work together, they do [(1/10) + (1/15)] = 1/6 of the work
No. of days needed = 1 ÷ (1/6) = 6
