SOLUTIONS:
1).
Answer d
C
can empty the tank in = (21/70)*100= 30 hours
Total
units of work= 300
A’s
one hour work = 300/20 = 15 units
B’s
one hour work = 300/25 = 12 units
C’s
capacity to empty in one hour = 300/30 = 10 units
When
three pipes are opened simultaneously then in one hour they will fill,
(15+12-10)
= 17 units
In
12 hours they will fill = 17*12= 204 units
After
12hrs, C will be closed
Time
taken by A& B to fill the remaining tank = 96/27 = 3 15/27 = 3 5/9 hours
Total
time will be = 12 + 3 5/9 = 15 5/9 hours
2). Answer a
C
can empty the tank in =18/60*100= 30 hours
Total
units of work= 360
A’s
one hour work= 360/18= 20units
B’s
one hour work = 360/24= 15 units
C’s
capacity to empty in one hour= 360/30= 12 units
When
three pipes are opened simultaneously then in one hour they will
(20+15-12)=23
units
In
12 hours they will fill= 23*12= 276 units
After
12 hr, C will be closed
Time
taken by A & B to fill the remaining tank = 84/35= 2 2/5 hours
Total
time = 12 + 2 2/5 = 14 2/5 hours
3). Answer b
Three
pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 8 hours.
A,
B and C’s 1 hour work=1/10
A,
B and C’s 3 hour work= 3/10
Remaining
work= 1 – (3/10) = 7/10
The
remaining part will be filled by A and B in 14 hours. Then,
=
> (7/10) *(A+B) = 14
=
> (A+B)’s whole work= 14*(10/7) = 20 hr
(A+B)’s
1 hour work= 1/20
A,
B and C’s 1 hour work = 1/10
C’s
1 hour work= (A+B+C) – (A+B)
=
> (1/10) – (1/20)
=
> 1/20
C
can fill the tank in 20 hours.
4). Answer c
Total
units of work= 90
A’s
one hour work = 9
B’s
one hour work = 6
C’s
one hour work = 5
Work
done by three pipes in 2 hours = 15 + 14 = 29 units
Work
done in 6 hours= 29*3 = 87 units
Remaining
will be done by pipe A and B = 3/15 = 1/5 hours
Total
time required= 6 1/5 hours = 6 hours 12 mins
5). Answer d
Let
capacity of tank = 90 lit (LCM of 10, 15, 18)
A
fills 90/10 = 9 liter/hour
B
fills 90/15 = 6 liter/hour
C
empties 90/18 = 5 liter/hour
Till
10 am 9*3 + 6*1.5 = 27 + 9 = 36 liters
Remaining
volume to be filled =90 – 36 = 54 liters
After
10 am, when all pipes are opened. 9 + 6 – 5= 10 liters/hr is filled.
Required
time = 54/10 = 5 4/10 = 5 2/5 hour = 5 hour 24 min
6). Answer c
(x-3)/12
+ (x-4)/16 + x/24 =1
(4x
– 12 + 3x – 12 + 2x)/48 = 1
9x
– 24 = 48
9x
= 72
X
= 8 min
7). Answer a
Let
total capacity = 75 litres (LCM of 15 and 25)
A
= 5 litres/min
B
= 3 litres/min
A+B
fill 75 litres
A
can fill 5*5 = 25 litres in 5 min
But
B was closed 5 min before the tank is filled. So A+B together filled (75-25) =
50 litres
50
litres can be filled by A + B in,
=
> (50/8) = 6 1/4
Total
time = 6 1/4 + 5 = 11 ¼ min
8). Answer d
B
is 5/4 times as efficient as A. So,
A
and B’s time =>5 : 4
A
can fill the 3/5 of the tank in 15 min
=>
(3/5) * work = 15 min
=>
Whole work = 25 min
A
takes 25 min to fill the tank, So, B takes,
=>
5’s =25
=>1’s
= 5
B
can fill the tank in, 20 min
B
can fill the tank independently for 10 min only.
B’s
10 min work = 10/20 = 1/2
Remaining
= 1- 1/2 = ½
Half
of the tank will remain incomplete.
9). Answer b
(x
– 4)/15 + (x – 5)/18 + x/20 =1
(12x
– 48 +10x – 50 + 9x)/180 =1
31x
– 98 = 180
31x
= 278
X
= 278/31 = 8 30/31 min
10). Answer c
If
all the pipes are opened simultaneously, then in,
=
> (1/15) + (1/18) – (1/20)
=
> (12 + 10 – 9)/180
=
> 13/180
Required
hours = 180/13 = 13 11/13 hours
11)
Answer b
15/20+x/24=1
18+x=24=>x=6
minutes
12) Answer c
LCM
of 12, 15 and 20 =60 units
Required
no of hours = 60/(5+4-3)=60/6=10 hours
13) Answer b
LCM
of 24 and 16 =48 units
1
cycle (2 hours) = 5 units
9th cycle (18 hours) = 45 units
19th hour =2 units
Required
no of hours = 18+1+1/3=19 1/3 hours
14) Answer a
LCM
of 42, 35 and 70 = 210
1
cycle (3 hours) = 2*(5+6) + 3=22-3=19
11th cycle = 209 units completed
Remaining
= 210-209=1 units
Required
no of hours = 33+1/11=33 1/11
15) Answer e
Required
no of hours = ¼ -1/5 =(5-4)/20=1/20
