Correct Answer: 8
Solution : Time taken by X alone to fill the tank = 24 minutes Part of work done by X alone in a minute = $\frac{1}{24}$ Time taken by Y alone to fill the tank = 32 minutes Part of work done by Y alone in a minute = $\frac{1}{32}$ Total time taken = 18 minutes Part of work done by X in 18 minutes = $\frac{18}{24}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ Work done by Y = 1–$\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ Time taken by Y before it was closed = $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{32}}$ = 8 minutes Hence, the correct answer is 8.
