Six pipes are fitted to a water tank. Some of these are inlet pipes and the others outlet pipes. Each inlet pipe can fill the tank in 9 h and each outlet pipe can empty the tank in 6 h. On opening all the pipes, an empty tank is filled in 9 h. The number of inlet pipes is
Suppose that a maximum of 25 g of salt dissolves in 100 g of water. Any more salt, if added, remains undissolved and a sediment falls at the bottom. Now, water is evaporated from 1 kg of a 4% solution at the rate of 28 g per hour. After how long will it start sedimenting, approximately?
A, B and C working together completed a job in 10 days. However, C only worked for the first three days when 37/100 of the job was done. Also, the work done by A in 5 days is equal to the work done by B in 4 days. How many days would be required by the fastest worker to comlete the entire work?
