Question

Two water taps together

can fill a tank in
$9 \times \frac{3}{8}$
hours. The larger takes 10 hours less than the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Formulate the quadratic equation to find the time in which each tap can separately fill the tank.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The tap of smaller diameter can separately fill the tank in 25 hours and the time taken by the larger tap to fill the tank = ( 25 – 10 ) = 15 hours
