Three pipes A, B and C are installed to fill a tank. Pipes A and B opened together can fill the tank in the same time in which \(C\) can alone fill the tank. If pipe \(B\) can fill the tank 15 minutes faster than pipe \(A\) and 5 minutes slower than pipe \(C\), then the time required by pipe \(A\) to fill the tank alone is:
- A 20 minutes
- B 30 minutes
- C 24 minutes
- D 36 minutes
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 30 minutes
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(t_B = t_A - 15\) \(t_C = t_B - 5 = t_A - 20\) \(\frac{1}{t_A} + \frac{1}{t_B} = \frac{1}{t_C}\) \(\frac{1}{t_A} + \frac{1}{t_A - 15} = \frac{1}{t_A - 20}\) \((2t_A - 15)(t_A - 20) = t_A(t_A - 15)\) \(2t_A^2 - 55t_A + 300 = t_A^2 - 15t_A\) \(t_A^2 - 40t_A + 300 = 0\)…

Aldehydes and ketones are important organic compounds prepared mainly by oxidation of alcohols. Primary alcohols give aldehyde and secondary alcohols yield ketones. Aldehydes can also be formed by partial reduction of acid chlorides, reduction of esters or by Gattermann-Koch reaction. Ketones are prepared by Friedel-Craft's acylation, hydration of alkyne and reaction of Grignard's reagent with nitriles. Chemically, aldehydes and ketones are reactive in nature due to the carbonyl group and undergo nucleophilic addition reactions. Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones and can be oxidized to carboxylic acids, while both can be reduced to alcohols or hydrocarbons and exhibit condensation reaction.
