Pipes & Cisterns

The document presents a series of mathematical problems related to pipes and cisterns, focusing on their filling and emptying rates. It includes various scenarios involving multiple pipes working together, their individual efficiencies, and the impact of leaks. The problems require calculating time taken to fill or empty tanks under different conditions.

Pipes & Cisterns

1) If pipe A can fill the tank in 36 hrs and same tank B can fill in 45 hrs. How much time will be
required to fill the tank completely if both operates together?
2) Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank from empty to full in 30 minutes, 20 minutes, and 10
minutes respectively. When the tank is empty, all the three pipes are opened. A, B and C
discharge chemical solutions P,Q and R respectively. What is the proportion of the solution R
in the liquid in the tank after 3 minutes?
3) Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 5 and 6 hours respectively. Pipe C can empty it in 12 hours. If
all the three pipes are opened together, then the tank will be filled in?
4) Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively and a waste pipe can empty 3
gallons per minute. All the three pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The
capacity of the tank is?
5) A tank is filled in 5 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is twice as fast as B and B is
twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?
6) Two pipes A and B together can fill a cistern in 4 hours. Had they been opened separately,
then B would have taken 6 hours more than A to fill the cistern. How much time will be
taken by A to fill the cistern separately?
7) A tyre has two punctures. The first puncture alone would have made the tyre flat in 9
minutes and the second alone would have done it in 6 minutes. If air leaks out at a constant
rate, how long does it take both the punctures together to make it flat?
8) Tap A can fill the empty tank in 12 hours, but due to a leak in the bottom it is filled in 15
hours, if the tank is full and then tap A is closed then in how many hours the leak can empty
it?
9) Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 15 hours and 10 hours respectively. A tap C can empty
the full cistern in 30 hours. All the three taps were open for 2 hours, when it was
remembered that the emptying tap had been left open. It was then closed. How many hours
more would it take for the cistern to be filled?
a) 30 min. b) 1.2 hours c) 24 min. d) 35 min. e) None of these

10) Taps A and B can fill a bucket in 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. If both
are opened and A is closed after 3 minutes. How much further time would it take for B to fill
the bucket?

11) If A cistern can be filled in 9 hours but it takes 10 hours due to a leak in its bottom. If
the cistern is full, then the time that the leak will take to empty is ?

12) Pipe A basically used as inlet pipe and pipe B is used as outlet pipe. Pipes A and B both are
opened simultaneously, all the time. When pipe A fills the tank and B empty the tank, it will
take double the time than when both the pipes fill the tank. When pipe B is used for filling
the tank, its efficiency remains constant. What is the ratio of efficiency of pipe A and pipe B
respectively?

a) 3 : 1 b) 5 : 2 c) 1 : 3 d) 3 : 2 e) None of these
