Question :16

Three pipes A, B and C when working alone, can fill a tank from empty to full in 30 minutes, 20 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. When the tank is empty, all the three pipes are opened. A, B and C discharge chemical solutions P, Q and R respectively. What is the proportion of solution R in the liquid in the tank after 3 minutes ?

Answer: (c)

Part filled by (A + B + C) in 3 minutes

= $3(1/30+1/20+1/10)=(3×11/60)=11/20$

Part filled by C in 3 minutes = $3/10$

∴ Required ratio = $(3/10×20/11)=6/11$

Question :17

P is 3 times more efficient than Q, and is therefore able to complete a work in 60 days earlier. The number of days that P and Q together will take to complete the work is

Answer: (a)

Question :18

Mr. A is running at a speed X kmph to cover a distance 1 km. But due to sticky ground his speed is reduced by Y kmph. If he takes Z hours to cover the distance, then –

Answer: (c)

We have speed after reduction = X – Y,

and Time = Z hrs.

⇒ X - Y = $1/Z$ (1 km = distance)⇒ZX – ZY = 1

Question :19

One fill pipe A is 3 times faster than second fill pipe B and takes 10 minutes less time to fill a cistern than B takes. Find when the cistern will be full if fill pipe B is only opened.

Answer: (b)

Let B can fill the cistern in x min. Then,

then A can fill the cistern in $x/3$ min

Given x - $x/3$ = 10⇒x = 15 min.

Question :20

Two taps A and B can fill a cistern in 12 minutes and 18 minutes respectively. They are turned on at the same time. If the tap A is turned off after 4 minutes, how long will tap B take to fill the rest of the cistern ?

Answer: (a)

In one min, (A + B) fill the cistern = $1/{12} + 1/{18} = 5/{36}$ th

In 4 min, (A + B) fill the cistern = $5/{36} × 4 = 5/9$ th

Rest part = 1 - $5/9 = 4/9$ th

∵ $1/{18}$ th part is filled by B in one min.

∴ $4/9$ th part is filled by B in 18 × $4/9$ = 8 min.
