Answer» Hey FRIEND...... :-) Time taken by both pipe to fill the tank = 100/9 minutes Portion of tank filled by faster pipe in 1 minute = 1/x Portion of tank filled by faster pipe in 1 minute = 1/(x+5) Portion of tank filled by both pipe in one 1 minute = 1/(100/9) = 9/100 A/q, 1/x + 1/(x+5) = 9/100 ⇒ (x+5 + x)/{x(x+5)} = 9/100 ⇒ (2x+5)/(x2+5x) = 9/100 ⇒ 200x + 500 = 9x2 + 45x ⇒ 9x2 + 45x - 200x - 500 = 0 ⇒ 9x2 - 155x - 500 = 0 ⇒ 9x2 - 180x + 25x - 500 = 0 ⇒ 9x (x - 20) + 25 (x - 20) = 0 ⇒ (9x + 25) (x - 20) = 0 x = -25/9 and x = 20 But x can't be negative as it represents time. Therefor, X = 20 minutes. Time taken by faster pipe to fill the tank = 20 minutes. Time taken by slowerr pipe to fill the tank = 20+5 = 25 minutes. Hoping it helps Thanks :D |
