Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct Question:
Two taps together can fill a tank in 6 hours
Tap A takes 5 hours less than Tap B to fill the tank. How long will Tap B fill it.
Solution:
Tap A and B can fill a tank in 6 hours.
In 1 hour, Tap A and B can fill 1/6 th part of the tank.
Let the time taken by Tap B to fill the tank be x hours .
Hence, time taken by Tap A to fill the tank
= ( x - 5 ) hours
In 1 hour, Tap B can fill 1/x th part of the tank
In 1 hour, Tap A can fill 1/( x - 5 ) th part of the tank.
A/q,
=> 1/x + 1/(x - 5) = 1/6
=> 6 = x + ( x - 5 )
=> 6 = x + x - 5
=> 6 = 2x - 5
=> 6 + 5 = 2x
=> 11 = 2x
=> x = 11/2
Hence, Tap B can fill the tank in 11/2 hours
& Tap A can fill the tank in (11/2 - 5) hours.
= ( 11 - 10 )/2 = 1/2 hours
