With both valves open, the pool will be filled with water in 48 minutes. The first valve alone would fill the pool in 2 hours. If the second valve emits 50 cubic meters of water more than the first every minute, then what is the capacity E of the pool?  Pick one.
A) 9000 cubic meters B) 10500 cubic meters C) 11750 cubic meters D) 12000 cubic meters E) 12500 cubic meters
D. 12000 cubic meters.   If both hte valves fill the pool in 48 minutes and valve 1 only fills in 120 minutes then valve 2 alone will fill the pool in   (48*120)/(120-48)=

80 minutes.   Now, if valve 1 admits x cubic meter of water per minute then the capacity of pool will be 120x and also 80 (x+50).   or, 120x= 80 (x + 50).   or x = 100.   Hence, the capacity of pool = 120x = 12000 cubic meters.
