Question

Shane has to fill a water tank in 3 hours 40 minutes and he used 7 pipes for that. How many pipes should he use to fill the tank in 1 hour 21 minutes?

Options:

A . 21 pipes

B . 19 pipes

C . 7 pipes

D . 30 pipes

Answer: Option B
:
B

Let the number of pipes be y.

$\begin{matrix} Number of pipes & 7 & y Time (in minutes) & 220 & 81 \end{matrix}$

The number of pipes and the time are inversely proportional.
AB = constant
$A_{1} \times B_{1}$ = $A_{2} \times B_{2}$
$\frac{7}{y}$ = $\frac{81}{220}$

$\Rightarrow y = \frac{7 \times 220}{81} = 19.01 \approx 19$

Shane has to use 19 pipes to fill the tank in 1 hour 21 minutes.
