Quant Question Of The Day: 133
A tank is connected with 7 pipes in total, some of which are inlet pipes and the others are outlet pipes. Each inlet pipe can fill the empty tank in 4 hours while each outlet pipe can empty the full tank in 5 hours. If all the pipes are opened together, it takes 2.5 hours for the empty tank to be filled. Find the number of inlet pipes. The data is tabulated below [ 5m – 4 ( 7-m)] (2.5) = 20

2. 4
3. 5
4. 2
Inlet Outlet All Number m 7-m 7 Rate 5 4 5m – 4 ( 7-m) Time 4 5 2.5
5m – 28 + 4m = 8
m = 4.
