1 Pipes and cisterns - 18 February 2025


Pipes A and B can ll 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
lled in:

(a) 4(8/13)
(b) 3(9/17)
(c) 7
(d) 12
(e) None

A pump can ll a tank in 2 hours. Because of a leak, it took
2(1/3) hours to ll the tank. The leak can drain all the water
of the tank in:

(b) 14
(c) 3.5

Two pipes can ll a tank in 20 and 24 minutes
respectively and a leakage pipe can empty 9 gallons
per minute. All the three pipes working together can
ll the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is:

120 gallons
140 gallons
240 gallons
360 gallons

Two pipes A and B can ll a tank in 10hours and 12hours
respectively while a third pipe can empty the full tank in 30hours.
If all the 3pipes operate simultaneously in how much time the
tank will be lled?

A pipe can ll a tank in 12minutes and another pipe can ll it
in 15minutes, but a third pipe can empty the tank in 6minutes.
The rst 2 pipes are kept open for the rst 2 minutes and then
the third pipe is also opened. In how much time the tank will
be completely empty, after the opening of third pipe?

Pipe A is three times faster than pipe B and takes 32minutes
less than pipe B to ll a tank. If both the pipe operate
simultaneously, in how much time the tank will be completely
lled?

A pipe can ll a tank in 45minutes while another pipe can
discharge the tank in one hour. In how much time the
tank will be lled if both the pipes work on alternate
minute?

Two pipes A and B can ll a tank in 15 minutes and 20
minutes respectively. Both the pipes are opened together
but after 4 minutes, pipe A is turned off. What is the total
time required to ll the tank?

10 m 40 s

Three taps A, B and C can ll a tank in 12, 15 and 20 hours
respectively. If A is open all the time and B and Care open for
one hour each alternately, the tank will be full in:

(a) 7
(b) 4
(c) 3
(d) 2
(e) None

Taps A can ll a tank in 20 minutes while tap B can
drain it completely in 24 minutes. If they are open for
one hour each alternately then the tank will be full in:

(b) 240
(c) 229
(d) 234
(e) None

8 lling pipes, in which each can ll a tank in 6 minutes and 8
leakage pipe in which each can empty the completely lled tank
in 10 minutes, are connected to a tank. If they all are opened
simultaneously then tank is lled at the rate of 32 liter per
minute. Capacity of the tank is :

(a) 30
(b) 60
(c) 120
(d) 110
(e) None

A leak in the bottom of a tank can empty the full tank in 8hr. An
inlet pipe lls water in the tank at the rate of 4litre/minute. When
the tank is full, the inlet is opened and due to the leak, the tank
is emptied in 12hrs. How many litres does the cistern hold?

Pipe A can ll the tank in 4 hours, while pipe B can ll it in 6 hours
working separately. Pipe c can empty whole the tank in 4 hours. He
opened the pipe A and B simultaneously to ll the empty tank. He
wanted to adjust his alarm so that he could open the pipe c when it
was halt- lled, but he mistakenly adjusted his alarm at a time when
his tank would be 3/4th tilled. what is the time diffrence between
both the cases, to ll the tank fully.
