- Question
- Two pipes X and Y can fill a cistern in 6 and 7 min, respectively. Starting with pipe X, both the pipes are opened alternately, each for 1 min. In what time will they fill the cistern?
Options- A. 62/7 min
- B. 63/7 min
- C. 65/7 min
- D. 61/7 min
- Correct Answer
- 63/7 min
ExplanationPart filled by X in 1st min and Y in the 2nd min = ( 1/6 + 1/7) = 13/42
Part filled by ( X + Y ) working alternately in 6 min = 1/2 x 13/42 x 6 =13/14
? Remaining Part = ( 1- 13/14 ) = 1/14
Now, it is the turn of X, one-sixth part is filled in 1 min.
One-fourteenth part is filled in (6 x 1/14) min = 3/7
? Required time = ( 6 + 3/7 ) = 63/7 min - 1. 0.0169 / 0.013=?

Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Given Exp. = 4 / 7 + {(2q - p) / (2q + p)}
Dividing numerator as well as denominator by q,
Exp = 4/7 + {2-p/q) / (2 + p/q)}
= 4/7 + {(2 - 4/5) / (2 + 4/5)}
= 4/7 + 6/14
= 4/7 + 3/7
=7/7

Correct Answer: ? 2400
Explanation:
Let the money interest at 8% interest be ? P .
Then, the money interest at 10% interest = ?(4000 - P)
According to the question,
(P x 8 x 1)/100 + [(4000 - P) x 10 x 1]/100 = 352
? 8P + 40000 - 10P = 35200
? 40000 - 35200 = 2P
? P = 4800/2 = ? 2400
