this cant be calculated if we dont know how big it is
what's the volume of the tank?
you dont need the volume of the tank to solve this type of question
i know how to do it but not perfect let me try
Inlet valve
6 minutes --> 1tank
1 minute --> 1/6th tank
Outlet valve
10 minutes --> 1 tank
1 minute --> 1/10 tank
volume of tank filled in 1 minute is
inlet - outlet
1/6-1/10
=1/15
because we need the time for tank to be full
1/15 * x = 1
x =15 minutes
@twin epoch here's a similar question you can practice
Thank u so much for ur help
