Answer 1

QUESTION ---- If 4/5 of cistern is filled in 1 minute, how much more time will be required to fill the rest of it

ANSWER ---

Let the cistern fill fully in x minutes

In 1 minute ====== 4/5 cistern
In x minutes ====== 1 cistern

USING PROPORTIONALITY METHOD,

1 : 4/5 :: x : 1

Product of means = Product of extremes

1 × 1 = 4/5 × x

1 = 4/5 of x

=> x = 5/4 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds
=> 5/4 × 60
=> 75 seconds

Answer 2

Answer:

75 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 minute ====== 4/5 cistern

In x minutes ====== 1 cistern

USING PROPORTIONALITY METHOD,

1 : 4/5 :: x : 1

Product of means = Product of extremes

1 × 1 = 4/5 × x

1 = 4/5 of x

=> x = 5/4 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

=> 5/4 × 60

=> 75 seconds
