  1. A tank be filled by one tap in 20 min. and by another in 25 min. Both the taps are kept open for 5 min. and then the second is turned off. In how many minutes more is the tank completely filled ?
    1. 171/2 min.
    2. 12 min.
    3. 11 min.
    4. 6 min.
Correct Option: C

Work done by both the taps in 5 min
= 5 (1/20 +1/25) = (5 x 9)/100 = 9/20
Remaining part = (1 - 9/20) = 11/20
Now, 1/20 part is filled in 1 min.
So, 11/20 part will be filled in 11 min.
Hence, the tank will be full in 11 more min.
