PIPE & CISTERN

• The pipe and cistern will have all the rules and formulas of work and
time and all its questions will be same as work and time.
1. Two taps can fill a tub in 15 minutes and 18 minutes respectively. A pipe
can empty it in 45 minutes. If all the three tapes are kept open simultaneously,
when will the tub be full ?

Sol :-
2. A cistern is normally filled in 9 hours but due to leak in the bottom, it
takes one hour more to be filled. If the cistern is full , in what time will
the leak empty it ?
Sol :-
3 :- Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively and a
waste pipe can empty 3 gallons per minute. All the three pipes working
together can filled the tank in 15 minutes. Find the capacity of the tank ?
Sol :-
4:- A pipe can fill a cistern in 12 minutes and another pipe can fill it in 15 minutes,
but a third pipe can empty it in 6 minutes. The first two pipes are kept open for 5
minutes in the beginning and then third pipe is also opened. Find the Number of
minutes taken to empty the cistern .
Sol :-
5 :- Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 min and 32 min respectively. If both the
pipes are opened simultaneously , after how much time B should be closed so that
the tank is full in 18 minutes ?

Sol :-
6 :- One fill pipe ‘A’ is 3 times faster than second fill pipe ‘B’ and takes
32 minutes less than the fill pipe ‘B’. When will the cistern be full if
both pipes are opened together ?
Sol :-
7 :- Two pipes ‘A’ and ‘B’ can fill a cistern in 4 minutes and 6 minutes
respectively. If these pipes are turned on alternately for 1 minute each.
How long will it take for the cistern to fill, if pipe ‘A’ start the work .

Sol :-
8 :- Pipe A can fill a Tank in 18 Hours, Pipe B can empty a Tank in 12 Hours, Pipe C can
fill Tank in 6 Hours. The Tank is already filled up to 1/6 of its capacity. Now Pipe A is
opened in the First Hour alone, Pipe B is opened in the Second Hour alone and Pipe C is
opened in the Third Hour alone. This cycle is repeated until the Tank gets filled. Then in
How many Hours does the rest of Tank gets filled ?
Sol :-
9 :- Twelve pipes are connected to a Cistern. Some of them are inlet pipes and the
others are outlet pipes. Each of the inlet pipes can fill the tank in 8 hours and each
of the outlet pipes can empty the cistern completely in 6 hours. If all the pipes are
kept open, the empty tank gets filled in 24 hours. How many inlet pipes are there?
10 :- In a tank there is a pipe which can be used for filling the tank as well as for
emptying it. The capacity of the tank is 1200 m³. The emptying of the tank is 10 m³
per minute higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs 6 minutes lesser to
empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What is the filling capacity of the pipe ?
11 :- There are 4 filling pipes and 3 emptying pipes capable of filling and
emptying in 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. If all the pipes are opened
together and as a result they fill 10 litres of water per minute. Find the capacity of
the tank .
12 :- Two pipes can empty a tank in 60 minutes and 75 minutes . If both the pipes
are opened then in how much time can they empty 1/6 th of a fill tank ?
13 :- Pipe A can fill an empty tank in 30 hours while B can fill it in 45 hours. Pipe
Aand B are opened and closed alternatively i.e., first pipe A is opened, then B, again
A and then B and so on for 1 hour each time without any time lapse. In how many
hours the tank will be filled if it was empty, initially ?
