Answer 1

mind-boggling question bro

but if correct please mark as brainliest

Tap A can fill a tank in 36 minutes which means that 1/36th of the tank will be filled up in a minute

Tap B can fill a tank in 48minutes which means that 1/48th of the tank will be filled up in a minute

and Given that A is open for 27 min --> 27/36 or 3/4 of the tank will be filled and B has to fill the remaing 1/4th of the tank.

B will fill the enitre tank in 48 mins and for it to fill 1/4 th of the tank it will take (48/4)12 mins.

answer is 12 minutes
