Question

10 identical pipes can fill a tank in 24 minutes.

How many pipes of the same kind are needed to fill the same tank in one hour?
PLS ANSWER NOW​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the desired time to fill the tank be x minutes.

In 80 mins a tank is filled by 6 pipes

Lesser the number of pipes more will be the time required by it to fill the tank.

So, this is a case of inverse proportion.

Hence, 80×6=x×5

⇒

5

80×6

=x

⇒x=96

Thus, the time is taken to fill the tank by 5 pipes is 96 minutes or 1 hour 36 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:

In 24 minutes, the number of taps required to fill a tank =10

In 1 minutes, the number of taps required to fill the tank =(10×24)

In 60 minutes, the number of taps required =10×24/60

=4 taps.
