A water tanker can be filled by 2 pipes A & B separately in 16 min & 32 min respectively. Outlet of the tanker is partially open and it can empty the full tanker completely in 1 hour 4 min. Pipes A & B were opened simultaneously for 9 min to fill the tanker but the partially open outlet was not closed. After 9 min the pipes A & B were closed and the tanker then went to Mohan's house, 6 km away to deliver water. If the tanker moved at a constant speed of 36 km/hr, approximately what percentage of tanker was full, when it reached Mohan's house?
Explanation:
Let the tank capacity be 64 liters. Hence, capacity of pipes A and B resp are 4 lit/min and 2 lit/min Also, the capacity of the draining pipe = -1 lit/min Now, when all pipes are open for 09 mins, tank filled = (4 + 2)*9 - (9*1) = 45 liters Now, the tank travels for (6/36)*60 min = 10 minutes During this time, liquid lost = 10*1 lit/min = 10 liters Liquid left = 35 liters hence, percentage filled = 35/64 = 55% approx
