The emptying capacity of the tank is 10 m3 per minute higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs 8 minutes lesser to empty the tank than it needs to fill it.

A) 50 m^3/min B) 60 m^3/min
C) 72 m^3/min D) None of these

Let the filling capacity of the pump be x m3/min. 

Then, emptying capacity of the pump=(x+10)m3/min.  

so,2400x-2400x+10=8 ⇔x2+10x-3000=0 

 

⇒x-50+x+60=0 ⇔x=50

Q:

The interest on a certain deposit at 4.5% p.a. is Rs. 202.50 in one year. How much will the additional interest in one year be on the same deposit at 5% p.a.  ?

A) Rs. 22.5 B) Rs. 2.5
