Let the pipe B be closed after 'K' minutes.
30/16 - K/24 = 1 => K/24 = 30/16 - 1 = 14/16
=> K = 14/16 x 24 = 21 min.
Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F'
Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10)
From the given data,
Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore,
part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30
part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40
Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore,
part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60
Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24
i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.
Part filled by (A + B) in 1 minute = (1/60 + 1/40) = 1/24
Suppose the tank is filled in x minutes.
Then, x/2(1/24 + 1/40) = 1
(x/2) * (1/15) = 1 => x = 30 min.
Given A alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 16 hrs.
=> A can fill in 1 hr = 240/16 = 15 lit
=> B alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 12 hrs.
=> B can fill in 1 hr = 240/12 = 20 lit
Now, (A + B) in 1 hr = 15 + 20 = 35 lit
But they are opened for 2 hrs
=> 2 x 35 = 70 lit rae filled
Remaining water to be filled in tank of 240 lit = 240 - 70 = 170 lit.
Let the efficiencies of filling pipes is 4p and 5p respectively.
Efficiency of pipe which empty the tank = 2/3 x 9p/2 = 3p
Total work = 3p x 36 = 108p
Time to fill the tank by both the pipes = 108p/9p = 12 min.
Time taken by one tap to fill half of the tank = 3 hrs.
Part filled by the taps in 1 hour = 4 x 1/6 = 2/3
Remaining part = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2
2/3 : 1/2 :: 1 : p
p = 1/2 x 1 x 3/2 = 3/4 hrs. i.e., 45 min
So, total time taken = 3 hrs 45 min.
Let pipe A takes p min to fill
Then,
pipe B takes 3p min to fill
=> 3p - p = 32
=> p = 16 min => 3p = 48 min
Required, both pipes to fill = (48 x 16)/(48 + 16) min = 12 min.
The time taken by the leak to empty the tank =
Therefore, the leak empties the tank in 40 hours.
Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120
For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120
So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120
Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes
Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.
