Answer:
Two pipes together fill tank in 11(1/9) min.
Let the time taken by one pipe to fill them separately be x min.
Time taken by another pipe to fill tank separately is x+5 min.
⇒(x)(x+5)/x+x+5=100/9
⇒9(x²+5x)=200x+500
⇒9x²−155x−500=0
x=155+205/2(9)
⇒x=360/2(9)
⇒x=20 - Equation 1
⇒x+5=25 -Equation 2
Product of times taken by them both separately
=(x)(x+5)=500
hope it helps you
