Pipe A fills a tank in 30 minutes. Pipe B can fill the same tank 5 times as fast as pipe A. If both the pipes were kept open when the tank is empty, how much time will it take for the tank to overflow? Choose the most appropriate option
A) 4 mins	B) 6 mins	C) 5 mins	D) 3 mins	E) 7 mins
Let the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.   Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by A = 3 liters.   Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by B = 15 liters.   Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both A and B in 1 minute = 18 liters.   Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18=
