An inlet pipe fill a tank in 5 hrs and outlet pipe empty same tank in 36 hrs working indiviually.how many additional number of outlet pipes of same capacity required to be opened so that tank never over flows
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- Inlet pipe fills the tank in 5 hr and outlet pipe empties the tank in 36 hr.
So inlet pipe is 36/5 = 7.2 times efficient than , ensure that the an outlet pipe.
Therefore , in order to tank never overflows , we will need total 8 outlet pipes.
Already we have 1 outlet pipe , thus we need only (8-1) = 7 outlet pipes - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(33) No(3)
- Inlet can fill tank in 1 hr = 1/5= 0.2
Outlet can empty tank in hr = 1/36 = 0.03
So
x*0.03 >0.2
(x is number of pipes)
So x= 8 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(6)
- inlet pipe fill the tank in 5hrs and outlet pipes takes 36 hrs to make it empty means in 36hrs the inlet fill the tank more than (or 7.2 times). now the additional no of outlet pipe will be 7 . and hence total no of outlet pipe will be 8.
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- we need only 7 extra pipe
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- we need to keep 6 pipes so tht it compensate the inlet pipes nd never let to over flow
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Inlet pipe fills the tank in 5 minutes and outlet pipe empties the tank in 36 minutes.
So inlet pipe is 36/5 = 7.2 times efficient than , ensure that the an outlet pipe.
Therefore , in order to tank never overflows , we will need total 8 outlet pipes.
Already we have 1 outlet pipe , thus we need only (8-1) = 7 outlet pipes - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Inlet pipe fills the tank in 5 minutes and outlet pipe empties the tank in 36 minutes.
So inlet pipe is 36/5 = 7.2 times efficient than , ensure that the an outlet pipe.
Therefore , in order to tank never overflows , we will need total 8 outlet pipes.
Already we have 1 outlet pipe , thus we need only (8-1) = 7 outlet pipes - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
