  1. Two taps A and B can fill a tank in 25 min and 20 min, respectively. But taps are not opened properly so the taps A and B allow 5/6th and 2/3rd part of water, respectively. How long will they take to fill the tank?
    1. 12 min
    2. 13 min
    3. 14 min
    4. 15 min
Correct Option: A

Part of the tank filled with A and B in
1 min = 1/25 x 5/6 + 1/20 x 2/3 = 1/30 + 1/30
= 2/30 = 1/15
Hence, Time taken to fill the tank = 15 min
