Ques:- There is a leak in the bottom of a cistern. When the cisternis thoroughly repaired, it would be filled in 3 ? hours. It now takes half an hour longer. If the cistern is full, howlong will the leak take to empty the cistern?
A. 24 hours
B. 28 hours
C. 21 hours
D. 27 hours
E. None of these
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-17 06:18:17:

Time taken to fill repaired cistern = 12 mins

In 1 min, pipe will fill = 1/12

Time taken to fill cistern with leak = 12 + 18 = 30 mins

In 1 min, it will fill = 1/30

Consider the leak as an outlet pipe, so

1/30 = 1/12 – [ in 1 min how much the outlet pipe leaks ]

= 1/12 – 1/30

= 5/60 – 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20

Therefore, it will take 20 mins for the leak to empty the cistern
