Cistern emptied in one hour = 1/6
Time taken to fill the cistern if both taps are opened => 1/4-1/6 = 1/12 in one hour
Total time taken to fill the cistern = 1/1/12 = 12 hour
A cistern can be filled by a tap in 1 hr = 1/4
A cistern emptied by an outlet pipe in 6 hrs
A cistern emptied by an outlet pipe in 1 hr =1/6
Time taken to fill the cistern if both taps are opened together in 1 hr = 1/4-1/6=1/12
Total time taken to fill the cistern = 12 hrs.
