Question

10 identical taps fill a tank in 24 minutes. To fill the tank in 1 hour, how many taps are required to be used?

• A. $2$
• B. $4$
• C. $6$
• D. $8$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $4$

In $24$ minutes, the number of taps required to fill a tank $=10$

In 1 minutes, the number of taps required to fill the tank $=(10\times 24)$

In 60 minutes, the number of taps required $=\frac{10\times 24}{60}=4$ taps.
