(Solved)
A cylindrical water tank can be filled to a depth of 2.1metres by a pipe P in 2 hrs. Pipe Q takes 7hrs to fill the tank to the same depth. Pipe R can empty this amount of water in 6hrs.
(a) i) Starting with an empty tank, P runs alone for one hour. How many centimeters deep will the water in the tank be?
ii) Having run for an hour in (i) above, Pipe P continues to run for additional 20 minutes after which it’s turned off. The remaining two pipes are left open with pipe R left to run for 4 hours while pipe Q runs for 2 hours. What will the depth of water in the tank be?
b) If the tank was initially 6.5m full and the three pipes are open, how long will it take to fill the tank such that only a third of the initial height of the tank remains empty?
