Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2 : 1 Given: The efficiency of pipe B filling a tank is double than that of A. FORMULA: If efficiency is double, the time taken to do a work will be half. Efficiency is inversely proportional to time taken for doing work. Total work = Efficiency × time CALCULATION: From the question The efficiency of B = 2 × efficiency of A Let In 1 hour A fill 1 unit in a tank, then In 1 hour B will fill 2 units. Now, let pipe B is opened for x hours then, pipe A is opened for 4x hours. In x hours B will fill = 2 × x = 2x unit In 4x hours A will fill = 1 × 4x = 4x unit ∴ The ratio of water in tank by A and B = 4x/2x = 2 : 1 |
