Answer:
2 hours 6 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Flow with pipe 1= x, in one hour fills 1/x of tank
Flow with pipe 2= y, in one hour fills 1/y of tank
Two pipes together fill up reservoir part in an hour:
- 1/x+1/y in one hour, so
- 1/x+1/y= 1/3/4= 4/3
Pipe 1 will fill the reservoir part in one hour:
- 1/x= 1/ 1 1/6= 1/ 7/6= 6/7
Pipe 2 will fill the reservoir part in one hour:
- 1/y= 4/3-6/7= 10/21
Time for pipe 2 to fill the reservoir:
- y= 21/10= 2 1/10 hours= 2 hours 6 mins
