A sample question from this test
A tank holds 450 litres. An inlet pipe fills it at 55 litres per minute while an outlet pipe drains it at 25 litres per minute. If both are open, in how many minutes will the empty tank be full?
- 18
- 13
- 16
- 15
Answer: D. 15. Net filling rate = 55 − 25 = 30 litres per minute. Time = 450 ÷ 30 = 15 minutes.
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.
