  1. One tap can fill a cistern in 2 hours and another can empty the cistern in 3 hours. How long will they take to fill the cistern if both the taps are opened ?
    1. 5 hours
    2. 6 hours
    3. 7 hours
    4. 8 hours
Correct Option: B

Net filling in 1 hour = (1/2 - 1/3) = 1/6
∴ Time taken to fill the cistern = 6 hours
