Question

Q. A cistern is normally filled in 10 hours. However, it takes 12 hours when there is a leak in its bottom. If the cistern is full, in what time shall the leak empty it?

Q. एक टंकी सामान्यत: 10 घंटे में भर जाती है। हालांकि तल में लीक होने कारण इसे भरने में 12 घंटे का समय लग जाता है। यदि टंकी भरी हुई है, तो लीकेज के कारण यह कितने समय में खाली होगी ?

Solution

The correct option is D
60 hours
60 घंटे

Filling efficiency of the cistern without leak =110

Given, It takes 12 hours to fill the tank with leak, which means the efficiency =112

Let the emptying efficiency be 1x

Thus, 112=1101x

Solving, x=60 hours.


बिना लीकेज के टंकी की भरने की क्षमता =110

दिया गया है, रिसाव के साथ टैंक को भरने में 12 घंटे लगते हैं, जिसका अर्थ है दक्षता =112

माना खाली करने की दक्षता 1x है

अत: 112=1101x

इसे हल करने पर , x=60 घंटे।
