Two pipes P and Q can fill the tank alone in 60 and 90 hours respectively. If they are opened together, then in how many hours will the tank be filled?
1). 35
2). 32
3). 36
4). 30
Part of tank filled by P in 1 hour = 1/60
Part of tank filled by Q in 1 hour = 1/90
⇒ Part of tank filled by both in 1 hour = 1/60 + 1/90 = (3 + 2)/180 = 5/180
∴ Time taken by both to fill the tank = 180/5 = 36 hours
