alternately for 1 hour each, starting with pipe A, in how many hours (to the nearest integer)
will the tank be filled?

2. Pipe X can fill a tank in 24 hours and pipe Y can fill it in 32 hours. If both pipes are opened
alternately for 1 hour each starting with pipe X, how long will it take to fill the tank
completely?

3. A pump can fill tank with water within 2 hours. Because of a leak in tank, it takes 7/3
hours to fill the tank. the tank leak can empty the tank in _________ hours.

4. A water tank has two pipes; the empty tank filled in 12 minutes by the first and the full
tank is emptied by the second in 20 minutes. Calculate the time required to fill half tank
when both the pipes are opened.

5. One pipe can fill an empty cistern in 4 hours while another can drain the cistern when full
