Inlet A is four times faster than inlet B to fill a tank. If A alone can fill it in 15 min, how long will it take if both the pipes are opened together?
A) 10 min
B) 12 min
C) 15 min
D) 14 min
Correct answer:
B) 12 min
Description for Correct answer:
Time taken by A to fill the tank, m = 15 min
Therefore, Time taken by B to fill the tank, n = \( \Large 15 \times 4 \) = 60 min
Therefore, Required time taken \( \Large \frac{m \times n}{m + n} \)
= \( \Large \frac{15 \times 60}{15 + 60}=\frac{15 \times 6}{75} \) = 12 min.
