  • Options
  • A. 6:7
  • B. 7:6
  • C. 7:54
  • D. None of these

  • 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,
