A pipe can fill a tank in 15 minutes and another can empty it in 20 minutes. If the tank is empty and both pipes are opened together, the tank will be full in:

  • A.30 min
  • B.35 min
  • C.60 min
  • D.75 min

Answer: C

The net rate of filling is \(1/15 - 1/20 = (4-3)/60 = 1/60\) of the tank per minute. So, the tank will be full in 60 minutes.
