Solution

The correct option is D
60 hours
60 घंटे
Filling efficiency of the cistern without leak = 1/10
Given, It takes 12 hours to empty the tank with leak, which means the efficiency = 1/12
Let the emptying efficiency be 1/x
Thus, 1/12 = 1/10 - 1/x
Solving, x = 60 hours.

छिद्र के बिना टंकी की भरण की क्षमता = 1/10
यह देखते हुए, छिद्र के साथ टैंक को खाली करने में 12 घंटे लगते हैं,इसका अर्थ है क्षमता = 1/12
माना कि टंकी खाली करने की क्षमता 1/x है
अतः 1/12 = 1/10 - 1/x
हल करने पर, x = 60 घंटे.
