30 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the small pipe take time "t" to fill up the tank alone
Since larger pipe takes 15 HOURS LESS, so it will take "t - 15" time to fill up the tank alone
Let the whole tank be equal to "1" and each pipe fills up a fraction of the tank.
Smaller Pipe fills up 10/t, and
Larger Pipe fills up 10/(t-15)
Totalling "1". So we can write:
Now, we solve for t. First, we multiply whole equation by (t)(t-15), to get:
Now we multiply out and get a quadratic and solve by factoring. Shown below:
Since, this time is for the smaller pipe (which takes longer than 15 hours), so we disregard t = 5 and take t = 30 as our solution. So,
Smaller pipe takes 30 hours to fill up the tank alone
