Pipes Emptying and Filling The Tank
Pipes Emptying And Filling The Tank
Pipes and Cisterns
Pipes are connected to tank or reservoir, or cisterns are used to fill or empty the tank.
Inlet
A pipe or a tap connected with a tank ( or a cistern or a reservoir) is called an inlet, if it fills it.
Outlet
A pipe or a tap connected with a tank (or a cistern or a reservoir) is called an outlet, if it empties it.
Pipes Emptying And Filling The Tank:
Let us consider a situation in which more than one pipe is connected to a tank or a reservoir and is either filling or emptying it. The pipe or tap which is filling are the inlet to the tank or reservoir. The pipe or tap which is emptying are the outlet to the tank or reservoir.
We will first calculate the part of tank filled by the pipe connected as inlet in 1 hour.
Similarly We will calculate the part of tank emptied by the pipe connected as outlet in 1 hour
Finally we will subtract the fraction emptied from the fraction filled in 1 hour.
We will then take the reciprocal to find the total time taken by all the pipes together to fill the tank
Formula:
Let us consider the case when one pipes filling and the other emptying the tank together
If 1st pipe can fill a tank in x h,
Then the part filled by the 1st pipe in 1 h can be calculated as
Similarly, if 2nd pipe can empty a tank in y h,
Then the part emptied by the 2nd pipe in 1 h can be calculated as
Then the part filled by the both the pipes in 1 h can be calculated as the difference of the part filled and emptied by individual pipe
To calculate the time taken to fill the tank by both the pipes together. we will take the reciprocal of the part filled in one hour
Illustration: A cistern can be filled by a tap in 12 hours and emptied by the other tap in 15 hours. If both taps are opened together how long will it take to fill the cistern?
A. 30 B. 20 C. 60 D. 45
Answer: C
A tank is three - fourth full. Pipe A can fill the tank in 12 min. Pipe B can empty it in 8 min. If both pipes are open, how long will it take to empty the tank ? | |||
| Right Option : A | |||

A cistern normally takes 10 hours to be filled by a tap but because of one open outlet pipe, it takes 5 hours more. In how many hours will the outlet pipe will empty a full cistern? | |||
| Right Option : C | |||

If a pipe can fill a tank in 7 h and another pipe can empty the full tank in 13 h, then how long will it take to fill the tank, if both the pipes are opened together ? | |||

We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
