Question

Tap 'A' can fill a tank in 24 minutes while tap 'B' can fill it in 48 minutes. If both the
taps are opened together, in how much time will the tank be filled in ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Unitiary Method

tap A can fill tank in 24 min

in 1 min tap A will fill 1/24 tank

similarly,

tab B can fill tank in 48 min

in 1 min tap B will fill 1/48 tank

if both taps are opened together

in 1 min they will fill

= 1/24 + 1/48

= 3/48

= 1/16

since both tap together fill 1/16 tank in 1 min

they will fill whole tank in 16 min.
