Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 and 30 minutes respectively. If both the pipes are used together, then how long it will take to fill the tank?
Answer: B
In this type of questions we first get the filling in 1 minute for both pipes then we will add them to get the result, as
Part filled by A in 1 min = 1/20
Part filled by B in 1 min = 1/30
Part filled by (A+B) in 1 min = 1/20 + 1/30
= 1/12
So both pipes can fill the tank in 12 mins.
