Answer:
→Let, the total volume of the tank be x litres.
In case of first tap,
in 12 hrs, it supplies x litres of water
→So, in 1 hr it supplies x/12 litres of water
And, in case of 2nd tap,
in 10 hrs, it removes x/2 litres of water
In 1 hr, it removes x/20 litres of water
→Therefore after 1 hr the ultimate amount of water remaining in the tank, when both the taps are on..
=X/12-X/20.
=x/30
→Let the required number of hours be Y
Then (x/30) × Y=X
→Y=30 hrs
hope it helps you :)
