$\large\leadsto\boxed{\sf\pink{3 \: hours}}$

• Given:-

10 taps take 5 hours to fill a tank.

• To Find:-

Time taken to fill the same tank with 6 taps = ?

• Solution:-

Time taken to fill the tank with 10 taps = 5 hours

Time taken to fill the tank with 1 tap = $\sf{\dfrac{5}{10}}$

→ $\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}}$ hours

Similarly,

Time taken to fill the same tank with 6 taps = $\sf{6 \times \dfrac{1}{2}}$

→ 3 hours

Therefore, the time taken to fill the tank with 6 taps is 3 hours.
