. It can take 12 hours to fill a swimming pool using two pipes
If the pipe of larger diameter is used for four hours and the pipe of smaller diameter for 9 hours,
only half of the pool can be filled. How long would it take for each pipe to fill the pool separately?
Best Answer
Explanation:
The given data is,
The time required to fill the swimming pool using two pipes = 12 hours.
To fill the half of the pool,
The time for which the pipe of larger diameter is used = 4 hours.
The time for which the pipe of smaller diameter is used = 9 hours.
It is required to find the time that would take for each pipe to fill the pool separately.
Let the time taken by the larger pipe to fill the pool be x hours.
And, the time taken by the smaller pipe to fill the pool be y hours.
