Two water taps together fill a tank in
Question: Two water taps together fill a tank in $1 \frac{7}{8}$ hours. The tap with longer diameter takes 2 hours less than the tap with smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can fill the tank separately. Solution: Let the smaller tap takesxhours to fill the tank.Then, the larger one takes (x 2) hoursto fill the tank Tank filled in 1 hour by smaller tap $=\frac{1}{x}$ Tank filled in 1 hour by larger tap $=\frac{1}{x-2}$ Tank filled in 1 hour by both the taps $...
