Correct Answer: 84
Solution : Time taken by inlet pipe = 84 hours Time taken by outlet pipe = 105 hours LCM of 84 and 105 (total work to be done) = 420 units $\therefore$ Efficiency of inlet pipe = $\frac{420}{84}$ = 5 Units Efficiency of outlet pipe = $\frac{420}{105}$ = 4 Units Efficiency of $9$ inlet pipes = $9×5=45$ Units Efficiency of $10$ outlet pipes = $10×4=40$ Units $\therefore$ Effective filling efficiency = $45-40=5$ Units So, time taken = $\frac{420}{5}=84 $ hours Hence, the correct answer is 84.

Question : An inlet pipe can fill an empty tank in 140 hours, while an outlet pipe drains a filled tank in 63 hours. If 8 inlet pipes and y outlet pipes are opened simultaneously, when the tank is empty, then the tank gets filled in 105 hours. Find the value of y.
Question : An inlet pipe can fill an empty tank in $4 \frac{1}{2}$ hours, while an outlet pipe drains a filled tank in $7 \frac{1}{5}$ hours. The tank is initially empty, and the two pipes are alternately opened for an hour each, till the tank is filled, starting with the
Question : Two pipes, S1 and S2, can alone fill an empty tank in 15 hours and 20 hours, respectively. Pipe S3 alone can empty that filled tank in 40 hours. Firstly, both pipes, S1 and S2, are opened and after 2 hours, pipe S3 is also opened. In how much time will the tank be
Question : Pipe A can fill 50% of the tank in 6 hours and Pipe B can fill the same tank in 18 hours. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, how much time (in minutes) will the empty tank be filled?
Question : Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in $12 \frac{1}{2}$ hours and 25 hours, respectively. The pipes were opened simultaneously, and it was found that, due to leakage in the bottom, it took one hour 40 minutes more to fill the cistern. If the cistern is full, in how much time
