Q2. Pipe A takes 16 min to fill a tank. Pipes B and C, whose
cross-sectional circumferences are in the ratio 2:3, fill
another tank twice as big as the first. If A has a
cross-sectional circumference that is one-third of C, how
long will it take for B and C to fill the second tank?
(Assume the rate at which water flows through a unit
cross-sectional area is same for all the three pipes.)

Answer Posted / vishal

hello guys i have some doubt lets solve it this way
x , y ,z be the spped of water coming out of A , B ,C(in ltr /min ) repctivly , V be the first tank volume then 2V will be the secont tank volume now
16 x = V ( pipe A takes 16 min to fill tank )
now the cross sections ration gives us radius ratio whcih gives us area ratio ,
hence y/z = 9/4 also x/z = 9/1 now if the two pipes fill secont tank in t time then
(y+z)*t = 2V put ol the values in terms of x , x gets cancel and answer is 32* 36 /13 what is the mistake i have done plzz tell me
