Answer» Step-by-step explanation: The time taken by smaller tap of diameter to fill the tank seperately =X hours. Time taken by tap of larger diameter to fill the tank seperately=x-10 hours The part of the tank filled by tap of smaller diamy in 1 hour=1/x The part of the tank filled by tap of larger diameter in 1 hour=1/x-10 Given,the TWO taps together can fill the tank in 75/8 hours So 75/8/x +75/8/x-10 =1 75/8(1/x-1/x-10)=1 75/8(x-10+x/(x-10)x)=1 75(2x-10)=8(x^2-10x) 150-750=8x^2-80x 8x^2-230x+750=0 4x^2-115x+375=0 By solving the QUADRATIC equation we get, Time taken by tap of smaller diameter to fill the tank=25hours Time taken by tap of larger diameter to fill the tank=25-10=15hours |
