Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 1

A Tank is filled with the mixture of Milk and Water in the ratio of 3:2 up to 2/5 of its capacity. The tank has two inlet pipes i.e., Milk and Water inlets. Milk and Water pipe can fill an empty tank in 12 and 18 hours respectively. Now both pipes are opened simultaneously and closed after the Tank is completely filled, then what is the ratio of Milk and Water in the full Tank if it can accommodate 250Litre?

Detailed Solution for Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 1

Initial Milk = 2/5*250*3/5 = 60 L
Water = 2/5*250*2/5 = 40 L
Rest of Tank =150 L
Pipes are opened then can fill rest of tank in 108/25 hours
H/W = constant
then (108/25)/12/x = (108/25)/18(150-x)
X = 90 = Milk, Water = 60
Final ratio = 3:2

Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 5

Pipe A can fill a Tank in 18 Hours, Pipe B can empty a Tank in 12 Hours, Pipe C can fill Tank in 6 Hours. The Tank is already filled up to 1/6 of its capacity. Now Pipe A is opened in the First Hour alone, Pipe B is opened in the Second Hour alone and Pipe C is opened in the Third Hour alone. This cycle is repeated until the Tank gets filled. Then in How many Hours does the rest of Tank gets filled?

Detailed Solution for Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 5

In First Hour Tank filled = 1/6+1/18
Second Hour = 1/6+1/18-1/12
Third Hour = 1/6+1/18-1/12+1/6 = 11/36 is filled 25/36 is left
From then 3 hours work = 1/18-1/12+1/6 = 5/36
5*3 Hours = 5*5/36 = 25/36
Total = 5*3+3 = 18 Hours

Detailed Solution for Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 7

6*(1/24+1/36+1/48) + x/48 = 5/6
x = 14 Min
C = 6+14 = 20

Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 8

Pipe A and B can fill a Tank alone in 12 Hours and 6 Hours respectively. Another Pipe C can empty the same Tank alone in 9 Hours. In an empty Tank for the First hour, Pipe A is opened alone, Second Hour pipe B is opened alone, Third Hour pipe C is opened alone. This process is continued until the Tank is filled. Then Pipe A is opened for How many Hours?

Detailed Solution for Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 8

3 hours work = 1/12+ 1/6 – 1/9 = 5/36
7*3 hours work = 35/36
remaining work = 1/36
Now its pipe A turn = 1/36*12 = 1/3 hour
Total = 7 hours + 20 min

Detailed Solution for Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 12

Part filled in 2 hours = 2/6 = 1/3
Remaining Part = (1-1/3) = 2/3
(P + Q)’s 7 hour work = 2/3
(P + Q)’s 1 hour work = 2/21
R’s 1 hour work = (P + Q + R) 1 hour work – (P + Q) 1 hour work
= (1/6 – 2/21) = 1/14 = 14 hours

Pipes And Cistern - MCQ 1 - Question 13

A Cistern is two-fifth full. Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe B can empty it in 6 minutes. If both the pipes are open,how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?
