Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
10 pipes can fill a tank in 24 minutes.
2 pipes go out of order.
Formula used:
Time taken is inversely proportional to the number of pipes.
Calculation:
Initially, 10 pipes take 24 minutes to fill the tank.
⇒ Total time with 10 pipes = 24 minutes
Let the time taken by the remaining 8 pipes be x minutes.
⇒ 10 pipes × 24 minutes = 8 pipes × x minutes
⇒ 10 × 24 = 8 × x
⇒ x = (10 × 24) / 8
⇒ x = 30 minutes
∴ The correct answer is option 1.
