Pumping alone at their respective constant rates, one inlet pipe fills an empty tank to 1/2 of capacity in 3 hours and a second inlet pipe fills the same empty tank to 2/3 of capacity in 6 hours. How many hours will it take both pipes, pumping simultaneously at their respective constant rates, to fill the empty tank to capacity?
A. 3.25
B. 3.6
C. 4.2
D. 4.4
E. 5.5
1st pipe fills 1/6 cap in 1 hr.
2nd pipe fills 1/9 cap in 1hr
Together 1/6+1/9 = 5/18 in 1 hr.
Full capacity in 18/5 hrs i.e 3.6
