Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 90 hrs Given: A tap can fill a container in 9 hours With leakage container can be filled in 10 hours Concept: If a tap can fill a tank in x hours, then the tank filled by the tap in 1 hour = 1/x of the total tank. Calculation: Part of the container emptied by the leak in 1 hours = (1/9) – (1/10) ⇒ (10 – 9)/90 ⇒ 1/90 ∴ The required time is 90 hours. |
