Time taken to fill the swimming pool = 24 hours
No. of pumps required to fill the swimming pool in 24 hours = 5 pumps
No. of pumps required to fill the swimming pool in 1 hour = 24 × 5 = 120 pumps
No. of pumps required to fill the swimming pool in 6 hours = 120 ÷ 6
= 20 pumps
No. of pumps required to fill the swimming pool in 24 hours = 5 pumps
