A pipe can empty a tank in 40 minutes. A second pipe with diameter twice as much that of the first is also attached with the tank to empty it. The two together can empty the tank in
1). 8 min
2). 13 min
3). 30 min
4). 38 min
A pipe with double the diameter will empty 22 = 4 times more water in unit time, so it will take 1/4th time.
So, the second pipe can empty the full tank in 10 min.
Part emptied by both in 1 min = (1/40) + (1/10) = 5/40
Time taken to empty the full tank = 40/5 min = 8 min
