Q:

12 buckets of water fill a tank when the capacity of each tank is 13.5 liters. How many buckets will be needed to fill the same tank,if the capacity of each bucket is 9 liters?

A) 8	B) 15
C) 16	D) 18

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 18

Explanation:

Capacity of the tank =(12 x 13.5) liters =162 liters.

Capacity of each bucket =9 liters

Number of buckets needed = 162/9 =18.

Q:

One pipe can fill a tank three times as fast as another pipe. If together the two pipes can fill the tank in 36 min, then the slower alone will be able to fill the tank in:

A) 81 min	B) 108 min
C) 144 min	D) 192 min

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 144 min

Explanation:

Let the slower pipe alone fill the tank in x minutes.

Then,faster pipe will fill it in x/3 minutes.

$= > \frac{1}{x} + \frac{3}{x} = \frac{1}{36} = > \frac{4}{x} = \frac{1}{36} = > x = 144 m i n s$

Q:

A water tank is two-fifth full.Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe B can empty it in 6 minutes.If both the pipes are open,how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?

A) 6 min.to empty	B) 6 min.to fill
C) 9 min.to empty	D) 9 min.to fill

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6 min.to empty

Explanation:

Clearly,pipe B is faster than pipe A and so,the tank will be emptied.

part to be emptied = 2/5

part emptied by (A+B) in 1 minute= $(\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{10}) = \frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{1}{15} : \frac{2}{5} : : 1 : x$

$\frac{2}{5} * 15 = 6 m i n s$

so, the tank will be emptied in 6 min

Q:

$[\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{3}} - \frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}} - \frac{6}{\sqrt{8} - \sqrt{12}}] = ?$

A) sqtr{3}-sqrt{2}	B) sqtr{3}+sqrt{2}
C) 5sqrt{3}	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5sqrt{3}

Explanation:

Given Exp = $\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}} - \frac{4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}} - \frac{6}{2 (\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})}$

= $\frac{3 \sqrt{2} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3})}{6 - 3} - \frac{4 \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})}{6 - 2} + \frac{3}{(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})} \times \frac{(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}$

= $\sqrt{2} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}) - \sqrt{3} (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}) + 3 (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})$

= $\sqrt{12} + \sqrt{6} - \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{6} + 3 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{2}$

= $5 \sqrt{3}$
