Tap X took 8 minutes to fill a tank completely .Tap Z took 12 minutes to fill the same tank completely.
If both taps are turned on at the same time to fill 5 such tank , how long will it take.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tap X fills of the tank's volume per minute.
Tap Y fills of the tank's volume per minute.
Working together, the two taps fill = = of the tank volume per minute working together.
It means that the two taps fill the tank in minutes.
Hence, it will take = 24 minutes to fill 5 tanks if both the taps are turned on.
