Q.9) Pipe P takes x hours to fill an empty tank. Pipe Q takes (x+10) hours to fill the same tank and R takes 10 hours to fill the same tank. All the pipes are opened simultaneously and fill 5 5/11 hours, then find the efficiency ratio of P and Q

1. 12 2/3 hrs
2. 11 4/5 hrs
3. 15 1/3 hrs
4. 12 1/3 hrs
5. None of these

Answers:

Q.1) Answer b

15/20+x/24=1

18+x=24=>x=6 minutes

Q.2) Answer c

LCM of 12, 15 and 20 =60 units

Required no of hours = 60/(5+4-3)=60/6=10 hours

Q.3) Answer b

LCM of 24 and 16 =48 units

1 cycle (2 hours) = 5 units

9^th cycle (18 hours) = 45 units

19^th hour =2 units

Required no of hours = 18+1+1/3=19  1/3 hours

Q.4) Answer a

LCM of 42, 35 and 70 = 210

1 cycle (3 hours) = 2*(5+6) + 3=22-3=19

11^th cycle = 209 units completed

Remaining = 210-209=1 units

Required no of hours = 33+1/11=33  1/11

Q.5) Answer e

Required no of hours = ¼ -1/5 =(5-4)/20=1/20

Q.6) Answer a

Efficiency ratio of B and C =2:1

Time ratio of B and C = 1:2

Given,

(1/A+1/B)- (1/A+1/C) =7/60-1/12

1/B-1/C=2/60=1/30

1/x-1/2x=1/30

=>1/2x=1/30

1/x=1/15

Q.7) Answer e

Efficiency ratio of A and B = 2:1 and time ratio of A and B = 1:2

1/x+1/2x=1/8

3/2x=1/8=>x=12 hours

A= 12 hrs B= 24 hrs C= 16 hrs

LCM of 12, 24 and 16 =48 units

1^st cycle (3 hrs) = 4+2+3=9 units

Half of the tank 24 units filled in 8 hrs

Q.8) Answer b

LCM of 24, 18 and 36 = 72 units

6 hrs output = (4+3)*6=42 units filled

3 hrs output = 2*3=6 units left

Remaining = 72-(42-6) = 72-42+6=36 units

The fraction of work left is,

=> 36/72 = 1/2

Q.9) Answer d

Given,

1/x+1/(x+10)+1/10=11/60

(2x+10)/(x²+10x) = 5/60

X²-14x-120=0

X=20

Required ratio = 1/20:1/30=3:2

Q.10) Answer c

Efficiency ratio of P to Q =150:100=3:2

Time ratio of P to Q = 2:3

Given,

1/2x+1/3x=1/12

5/6x=1/12

X=10 hrs

P=20, Q = 30 and R=10

LCM of 30 and 10 = 30 units

1 cycle (2 hrs) = 1+3=4 units

7^th cycle (14 hrs) = 28 units

15^th cycle = 28+1=29 units completed

Required number of hours = 15+1/3=15  1/3 hrs
