Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively.
Both pipes A and B are opened together for some time and then pipe B is turned off.
If the tank is filled in 15 minutes, then after how many minutes is pipe B turned off?
- A 5 minutes
- B 8 minutes
- C 12 minutes
- D 7.5 minutes
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 7.5 minutes
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A's work rate: \(1/20\) B's work rate: \(1/30\) Let \(t\) be the time pipe B was open. Total work = (Work by A in 15 min) + (Work by B in \(t\) min) \(15/20 + t/30 = 1\) \(3/4 + t/30 = 1\) \(t/30 = 1 - 3/4\) \(t/30 = 1/4\) \(t = 30/4\) \(t = 7.5\) minutes

The speed at which a chemical reaction takes place is called the rate of reaction. The rate of reaction depends on various factors like concentration of the reactants, temperature, etc. The relation between the rate of reaction and the concentration of reacting species is represented by the equation r = k[A]x[B]y, where x and y are the order of the reaction with respect to the reactants A and B, respectively. The overall order of the reaction is x + y. The rate of reaction can also be increased by the use of a catalyst which provides an alternate pathway of lower activation energy. It increases the rate of forward and backward reaction to an equal extent. It does not alter the Gibbs energy of the reaction.
The rate law of a reaction is given by r = k[CH3OCH3]3/2. If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then the unit of rate constant will beCUET 2025 Easy
