Assum, Pipe A & B

Pipe A fills the tank in 20 minutes, therefore each minute 1/20 of the tank is filled.

Pipe B fills the tank in 60 minutes, therefore each minute 1/30 of the tank is filled.

Combined, you may add 1/20 and 1/60 of the tank filled per minute.

=1/20 + 1/60

= 3+1/60

= 4/60 of the tank per minute.

= (4/60)× x minutes = 1 tank

= x minutes= 1/(4/60)

= x minutes= 60/4 = 15

The tank is filled in 15 minutes.

HOPE IT HELP✓


praggy24: sorry the answer is wrong... it is 30 mins... your procedure is correct but you have considered both the pipes used to fill the tank... but you should mark that one pipe is used to drain the tank...
praggy24: so it should be like (1/20) - (1/60)=1/30
Anonymous: How?
Anonymous: Means 1/20-1/60
praggy24: see one pipe is pouring water inside the tank. the tank is gaining water hence it is positive. but you should mark the question correctly. another pipe is not filling the tank. its draining means removing water. hence it is negative
praggy24: yes

The time taken to fill the tank completely = 115 min

Given:

A pipe can fill a tank in 20 minutes

Another pipe can drain the tank in 60 mins.

To find:

If both of them are opened simultaneously, then how long it will take to full the tank?

Solution:

A pipe can fill a tank in 20 minutes

Another pipe can drain the tank in 60 mins

Let 60 liters be the volume of tank [ ∵ LCM (20, 60) = 60 ]

From given data A pipe can fill a tank in 20 minutes

⇒ The part of tank can be filled in 1 min = 60/20 = 3 liters

Another pipe can drain the tank in 60 mins

⇒ The part of tank can be drained in 1 min = 60/60 = 1 liter  

One pipe will fill 3 liters of tank, while another pipe will drain 1 liter

⇒The part of tank can be filled in 2 min = 3 liters - 1 liter = 2 liters

In 2 min 2 liters of tank can filled

The time taken to fill 57 liters = 2×57 = 114 mins

In Last min First tank will completely fill the tank

The time taken to fill the tank completely = 114+1 = 115 min

   

The time taken to fill the tank completely = 115 min
