Two taps A and B can fill a tank in 5 hours and 20 hours respectively . If both the taps are open then due to leakage , it took 30 minutes more to fill the tank . If the tank is full , how long will it take for the leakage alone to empty the tank ?  

A    4.5hrs

B    7hrs

C    18hrs

D    36hrs

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

 

Let the speed of car be x kmph.

Therefore,

the speed of train = 1.5x kmph

Distance traveled by train and car is same. Time difference is 12.5 minutes.

(75/x) - (75/1.5x) = (125/10x60)

x = 120
