- Question
Pipe K fills a tank in 30 minutes. Pipe L can fill the same tank 5 times as fast as pipe K. If both the pipes were kept open when the tank is empty, how much time will it take for the tank to overflow ?
Options- A. 3 minutes
- B. 2 minutes
- C. 4 minutes
- D. 5 minutes
- Correct Answer
- 5 minutes
ExplanationLet the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by K = 3 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by L = 15 liters.
Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both K and L in 1 minute = 18 liters.
Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18 = 5 minutes. - 1. What is the average of four tenths and five thousandths

Four tenths = 0.4
Five thousandths = 0.005
The average is (0.4 + 0.005)/2 = 0.2025
Correct Answer: 222
Correct Answer: 61, 58 and 55
Correct Answer: 4√10
Correct Answer: Vr / (12 - V)
Explanation:
We have to rearrange the equation to make R the subject.
Start by cross multiplying by (r + R); V (r + R) = 12R
Multiply out the bracket Vr + VR = 12R
Correct Answer: 70
Correct Answer: 6/16
Correct Answer: 12240
Explanation:
LCM of (80, 85, 90) can be found by prime factorizing them.
80 ? 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
85 ? 17 × 5
90 ? 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 2 × 2 x 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17
= 16 x 9 x 85
= 144 x 85
= 12240
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 12240.
