\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the first pipe fills the tank in 10 days, it actually fills  of the tank volume per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the second pipe fills the tank in 12 days, it fills  of the tank volume per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When both pipes work together, they fill  of the tank volume per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, it will take  =   days for both pipes to fill the tank.\r\n" );

document.write( "Answer. Two pipes working together will fill the tank in   days.\r\n" );
