A sample question from this test
Pipe A can fill a tank in 20 hours and pipe B can fill it in 80 hours. If both pipes are opened together, in how many hours will the tank be full?
- 26
- 16
- 19
- 15
Answer: B. 16. Part filled in 1 hour = 1/20 + 1/80 = 1/16. So the tank is full in 16 hours.
How to approach this test
Treat filling pipes as positive rates and emptying pipes or leaks as negative rates, then divide the capacity by the net rate.
This set leans easy, so use it to confirm that you can solve the basic pattern accurately before you move to harder sets. At 10 questions in 15 minutes, you have about 90 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
