6 pumps of kirlosker can fill a tank in 7 days and 2 similar pumps of USHA can fill the same tank in 18 days. what is the ratio of the efficiency of a kirlosker pump and a USHA pump?

Correct Answer: 6:7

Explanation:

The number of days required by a single kirlosker pump to fill the tank = 6 x 7 =42 days and the number of days required by a single USHA pump to fill the same tank = 2 x 18 =36 days.


Now , since efficiency is inversely proportional to the number of days. Hence,


E f f i c i e n c y   o f   o n e   K   -   p u m p E f f i c i e n c y   o f   U -   p u m p = 36 42 = 6 7
