Question 13 Marks
A cistern has two taps attached to it. Tap B can empty the cistern in 45 minutes. But Tap A can fill the cistern in just 30 minutes. Rohit started both taps unknowingly but realized his mistake after 30 minutes. He immediately closed Tap B. Now, in how many minutes the cistern will be filled?
Answer
In 1 minute, cistern filled by Tap $A=\frac{1}{30}$
In 1 minute, cistern emptied by Tap $B=\frac{1}{45}$
In 1 minute with Taps A and B, cistern filled $=\frac{1}{30}-\frac{1}{45}=\frac{1}{90}$
In 30 minutes, $30 \times \frac{1}{90}=\frac{1}{3}$ amount of cistern is filled
Remaining cistern $=1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$
This is filled by Tap A only
In 1 minute, $\frac{1}{30}$ part of cistern is filled
In x minutes, $\frac{2}{3}$ amount of cistern is filled
$\therefore$ x minutes $=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{30}}$$= 20$ minutes
$20$ minutes $=$ Time to fill after Tap B is closed

Question 33 Marks
If the boat takes 12 hours to row 48 km upstream and 8 hours to row the same distance downstream, then find the boat's speed in still water and speed of river.
Answer
Let speed of a boat is X km/hour and speed of river is Y km/hour.
Downstream speed $=\frac{\text { Distance covered }}{\text { Time taken }}$
=$\frac{48}{8}=6~ \text{km/h}$
Upstream speed $=\frac{\text { Distance covered }}{\text { Time taken }}$
=$\frac{48}{12}=4~ \text{km/h}$
$X + Y = 6$ km/h
and $X - Y = 4$ km/h
Adding them we get,
$X + Y + X - Y = 10$ km/h
$\therefore$ $X = 5$ km/h
$5$ km/h $=$ Speed of Boat
$Y = 6 - 5 = 1$ km/h
$1$ km/h $=$ Speed of river
