Two pipes P and Q can fill a tank in 26 minutes and 52 minutes respectively.
Both the pipes are opened together for some time and then pipe P is closed.
If the tank is filled in 26 minutes, then after how many minutes pipe P is closed?
- A 19 minutes
- B 20 minutes
- C 13 minutes
- D 10 minutes
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 13 minutes
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \text{Work by Q in 26 min} = 26 \times \frac{1}{52} = \frac{1}{2} \) \( \text{Remaining work} = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \) \( \text{Time P worked} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{26}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 26 = 13 \text{ minutes} \)
