If two pipes function together, the tank will be filled in 6 hours. One pipe fills the tank 5 hours faster than the other. How many hours does the faster pipe take to fill the tank?
Explanation
Let the faster pipe fill the tank in x hours.
then the slower pipe fills in (x+5) hours
According tot he question, both the pipes together can fill the tank in 6 hours.
X can take value either 10 or -3
As the question is about the pipe that fills faster, we will neglect negative value
Therefore, the faster tap fills the tank in 10 hours.
Hence option D is correct.
