Answer»

Time is taken by one tap to fill half the bucket = 3 HOURS.

So the PART filled 4 taps in one hour = 4 * (1/6) = 2/3 of the bucket.

THEREFORE, the remaining part is = (1 – 1/2) = 1/2

Proportionally à 2/3: 1/2:: 1: x

=> x = 3/4 hours = 45 minutes. So the TOTAL time = 3 HRS 45 minutes.

Time is taken by one tap to fill half the bucket = 3 hours.

So the part filled 4 taps in one hour = 4 * (1/6) = 2/3 of the bucket.

Therefore, the remaining part is = (1 – 1/2) = 1/2

Proportionally à 2/3: 1/2:: 1: x

=> x = 3/4 hours = 45 minutes. So the total time = 3 hrs 45 minutes.
