Question: If a tank is filled by a pipe in 7 hours and emptied by another pipe in 14 hours, how long will it take to fill the tank if both pipes are opened together?
Options:
Correct Answer: 6 hours
Solution:
The net rate is 1/7 - 1/14 = 2/14 - 1/14 = 1/14. Therefore, it will take 14 hours to fill the tank.
