An inlet pipe can fill an artificial pond in 70 min. an outlet pipe can empty the same pond in 200 min. with both pipes open, how long will it take to fill the pond?

It takes 107.692 minutes approximately to fill the pond

Solution:

Given that inlet pipe can fill an artificial pond in 70 min

So the inlet pipe can fill of the pond in 1 min

An outlet pipe can empty the same pond in 200 min

So the outlet pipe can empty of pond in 1 min

Here negative sign denotes "empties the pond"

To find: With both pipe open, time taken to fill the pond

Let "x" be the time taken by pipes to fill the pond

With both pipes are left on, so together their rate is:

On solving,

Thus it takes 107.692 minutes approximately to fill the pond

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
