Question

9 pipes are required to fill a tank in 1 hour 20 minutes how much time will be taken by 6 pipes to fill a same tank​

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.
