Given:
Time taken by Tap A = 6 mins
Time taken by Tap B = 12 mins
To find:
How much time would it take to fill the tank if both the taps are opened together?
Solution:
Tap A's one min work = 1/6
Tap B's one min work = 1/12
Therefore,
Tap ( A + B)'s one minute work = 1/6 + 1/12
Solving -
= 1/6 + 1/12
= 2 + 1 / 12
= 3/12
= 1/4
Answer: The time required to fill the tank when both the taps are open is 4 minutes.
