Taps A, B and C are attached with a tank and velocity of water coming through them are 42 L/h, 56 L/h and 48 L/h, respectively. A and B are inlets and C is outlet. If all the taps are opened simultaneously, tank is filled in 16 h. What is the capacity of the tank?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Quantity of water admitted by tap 1 in 1 h = 42 L
Quantity of water admitted by tap 2 in 1 h = 56 L
Quantity of water removed by tap 3 in 1 h = 48 L
So, quantity of water filled in the tank in 1 h = \( \Large \left(42+56-48\right) \) = 50 L
Therefore, Quantity of water filled in 16 h = \( \Large 16 \times 50 = 800\ L \)
Hence, capacity of tank = 800 L
