Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- [b] Pipe A can filled the tank in 1 min $ =,\frac{1}{20}part $
Pipe B can filled the tank in 1 min $ =\frac{1}{30}part $
If both pipes are open, then
Tank can be filled in 1 min
$ =\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{20+30}{600}=\frac{50}{600}part $
So, tank can be fully filled in $ =\frac{600}{50}=12\min . $
