Solution

The correct option is D
60 hours
60 घंटे
Filling efficiency of the cistern without leak =110
Given, It takes 12 hours to empty the tank with leak, which means the efficiency =112
Let the emptying efficiency be 1x
Thus, 112=1101x
Solving, x=60 hours.

रिसाव के बिना टैंक भरने की क्षमता =110
यह देखते हुए, रिसाव के साथ टैंक को खाली होने में 12 घंटे लगते हैं, जिसका अर्थ है
क्षमता =112
माना खाली होने की क्षमता 1x है
इस प्रकार, 112=1101x
हल करने पर, x=60 घंटे।
