Pipes & Cisterns Mcqs
Q. Pipe A can fill a tank in 16 minutes and pipe B cam empty it in 24 minutes. If both the pipes are opened together after how many minutes should pipe B be closed, so that the tank is filled in 30 minutes?
a. 20
b. 24
c. 23
d. None of these
Let the pipe B be closed after x minutes.
30/16 – x/24 = 1 => x/24 = 30/16 – 1 = 14/16
=> x = 14/16 * 24 = 21.
