Answer» Let the AMOUNT of water in the TANK is 2 UNITS Tap A can empty it in 1 hour hence in 1 hour it will remove 2 units out of it. Tap B can empty it in 30 mins hence in 1 hour it will remove 4 units. Hence if both taps are opned tank they can take 6 units of water out in 1 hour. But Tank has only 2 units of water Hence it can be empty in 2 / 6 Hours = 1/3 hours Hence 20 mins |
