(a) ∵ Part of tank filled by A in 1 h =
and part of tank filled by Bin 1 h =
∴ Part of tank filled by A and B in 1 h
=
+ =
=Time taken to fill
rd tank by A and B = 12 x
= 4h
Now. part of tank emptied by leak in 1 h =
×=∴ Part of tank filled by A, B and leak in 1h
=
− =
=
= Remaining part to be filled =
Time taken to fill remaining tank = 16 ×
=∴ Total time to fill the tank
=
+ 4
