Question

if 5 pipes are required to fill a tank in 1 hour 36 minutes , then find the time taken by 2,3,4,6 and 8 and pipes to fill the tank .​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 96

Hence, 80×6=x×5

⇒

5

80×6

=x

⇒x=96

Thus, the time is taken to fill the tank by 5 pipes is 96 minutes or 1 hour 36 minutes.
