Answer» Time taken by pipe A to FILL a tank = 36 HOURS ⇒ Part of the tank filled by pipe A in 1 hour = 1/36----(1) Time taken by pipe B to fill a tank = 45 hours ⇒ Part of the tank filled by pipe B in 1 hour = 1/45----(2) Adding equations 1 and 2, Part of the tank filled by pipe A and B both in 1 hour $(= \frac{1}{{36}} + \frac{1}{{45}} = \frac{{5 + 4}}{{180}} = \frac{9}{{180}} = \frac{1}{{20}})$ ∴ Time taken by pipe A and B both to fill the tank completely = 20 hours |
