6 taps having the same capacity and these taps can fill a big container in 126 minutes. How many taps of the same capacity are required to fill up the same container in 42 minutes?1. 22. 43. 184. 7

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 18

Given:

Number of taps = 6

Time = 126

Formula used:

M1 T1 = M2 T2

Where M and T represents the number of taps and time.

Calculation:

6 × 126 = M2 × 42

⇒ M2 = (6 × 126)/42

⇒ M2 = 18

∴ 18 taps are required to fill a container in 42 minutes.

As the value of time is (1/3)rd of initial value or decreased by 200%, then the number of taps must also increase by 200% of the initial value
