Answer : 2. "8 hours"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 8 hours Explanation: Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16% 10024 Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83% 1001717 Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 % Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 * (10 - x) Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then 10x10-xx=2.5 hrs => x = 8 Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the capacity will be filled by pipes A and B in 80/10 = 8 hours
