1. A tap fills tank in 3 hours and another tap can fI’ll it in 6 hours. If both taps are opened together, how long it take for the tank to be filled.

2. Tap ‘A’ fills the tank in 8 hours and another tap ‘B’ empties it in 12 hours. If the tank is empty and both the tanks are opened together, how long will it take to fill the tank?

part filled by tap A in 1 hr=1/4    part filled by tap B in 1 hr=1/6    both are opened s0    =1/4+1/6    =10/24    =5/12    take the reciprocal    so 12/5    so 2 hour (2/5) minutes
