Two identical taps fill two fifth of a tank in 20 minutes When one of the taps goes dry in how many minutes will the remaining one tap fill the rest of the tank?

If 2 taps fill 2/5 of the tank in 20 minutes then each tap fills 1/5 of the tank in that time.
3/5 of the tank is still to be filled.
One tap therefore takes 3/5÷ 1/5 x 20 = 60 minutes = 1 hour to fill the rest of the tank.

If you have 2 faucets and 1 pond and the 1st faucet fills the pond in 8 minutes by its self and both faucets fill the pond in 5 minutes how many minutes will it take the 2nd faucet to fill the pond?
F1 fills one-eighth per minute, F1 & F2 together fill one-fifth per minute, so F2 is responsible for one-fifth less one-eighth ie three-fortieths per minute so F2 alone would take 40/3 ie 13 min 20 sec.
Jim can fill a pool carrying buckets of water in 30 minutes sue can do the same job in 45 minutes tony can all three fill the pool together?
Since you didn't write the Tony's time, let find for how long Jim and Sue can fill the pool together. Jim can fill 1/2 of the pool in 15 minutes. Sue can fill 1/3 of the pool in 15 minutes. Together can fill 5/6 of the pool in 15 minutes (1/2 + 1/3). In how many minutes (let's say x minutes) they will fill 1/6 of the pool? Since it is left a small piece of the pool to fill out, it will take a few minutes to fill it. So we can form a proportion such as: (5/6)/(1/6) = 15/x 5/1 = 15/x cross multiply 5x = 15 divide both sides by 5 x = 3 It will take 3 minutes to fill 1/6 of the pool. So that together they will fill the pool in 18 minutes (15 + 3).
If you have a 6000 liter tank it takes one pipe to fill it in 50 minutes and the other pipe in 75 minutes how long will it take both pipes at the same time?
It would take the too pipes 30 minutes to fill the tank when working together.This figure can be found in the following manner:Find the fill-speed of the first pipe50 minutes to fill 6000 Liters. 6000L/50m gives us 120L/m (liters-per-minute)6000 Liters in 75 minutes = 6000L/75m = 80L/mNext find the speed of the second pipeNow we combine the two rates (120+80), and we find that the pipes have a combined fill-speed of 200L/mFinally, we determine that it takes 30 minutes to fill the tank at 200L/m
Pipe A can fill a cistern in 20 mint and pipe B can fill it in 60 mintBoth the pipes are opened and after ten mint pipe A is closedHow much time will B take to fill the remaining part of the tan?
A fills 1/20th per minute and B fills 1/60th per minute. After 10 minutes A has filled 10/20ths ie half, and B has filled 10/60ths ie 1/6. There is therefore 2/6 unfilled ie 20/60ths so B alone will complete the filling in 20 more minutes.
Jamil can fill a pool carrying bucket of water in 30 minutes ali can do the same job in 45 minutes tariq can do the same job in 60 minutes how quickly can all three fill the pool together?
Jamil fills 1/30 of the pool in one minute. Ali fills 1/45 of the pool in one minute. Tariq fills 1/60 of the pool in one minute. So, together they fill 1/30 + 1/45 +1/60 = 6/180 + 4/180 +3/180 = 13/180 of the pool in one minute. Therefore, it takes them 180/13 minutes to fill th pool together. That is, 13.85 minutes.

Jim can fill a pool carring buckets of water in 30 minutes Sue can do the same job in 45 minutes Tony can do the same job in 90 minutes how quickly can all three fill the pool together?
In 15 minutes. Jim can fill 1/2 of the pool in 15 minutes, Sue can fill 1/3, and Tony can fill 1/6 of the pool in 15 minutes. Thus, together they can fill the pool in 15 minutes.
