Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 4 minutes and 6 minutes respectively . If these pipes are turned on alternately for 1 minute each how long will it take to the cistern to fill?

Answer

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = 14 + 16 = 512 


In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another 512 part of cistern. 


Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill 512 + 512 = 56Remaining part = 1 - 56 = 16 


Pipe A can fill 14 of the cistern in 1 minute 


Pipe A can fill 16 of the cistern in = 23 min 


Therefore, Total time taken to fill the Cistern  


4 + 23 minutes.

A) 60 B) 74
C) 82 D) 58
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60

Let,

no. of rice bowl = x
no. of dal bowl = y
no. of meat bowl = z

Then, x + y + z = 65 ....(1)

Also given that, 2x = 3y = 4z

substituting value of y & z in terms of x i.e. y = 2x/3 and z = x/2 in eq (1),
We get x = 30.

As 1 rice bowl is shared between 2 guests,
Therefore, there are 60 guests.
