Two water taps together can fill a tank in `9 3/8`hours. The tap of larger diameter takes 10 hours less than the smaller one to fill the tank separately. Find the time in which each tap can separately fill the tank.
उत्तर
Let the time taken by the smaller pipe to fill the tank be x hr.
Time taken by the larger pipe = (x – 10) hr
Part of tank filled by smaller pipe in 1 hour = `1/x`
Part of tank filled by larger pipe in 1 hour = `1/(x - 10)`
It is given that the tank can be filled in `9 3/8` hours by both the pipes together. Therefore,
`1/x + 1/(x - 10) = 8/75`
`(x - 10 + x)/(x(x - 10)) = 8/75`
`⇒ (2x - 10)/(x(x - 10)) = 8/75`
⇒ 75(2x – 10) = 8x2 – 80x
⇒ 150x – 750 = 8x2 – 80x
⇒ 8x2 – 230x + 750 = 0
⇒ 8x2 – 200x – 30x + 750 = 0
⇒ 8x(x – 25) – 30(x – 25) = 0
⇒ (x – 25) (8x – 30) = 0
⇒ x = `25, 30/8`
Time taken by the smaller pipe cannot be `30/8` = 3.75 hours. As in this case, the time taken by the larger pipe will be negative, which is logically not possible.
Therefore, time taken individually by the smaller pipe and the larger pipe will be 25 and 25 – 10 = 15 hours respectively.

Complete the following activity to solve the given word problem. The Sum of squares of two consecutive even natural numbers is 244, then find those numbers.
Activity: Let the first even natural number be x
Therefore its consecutive even natural number will be = (______)
By the given condition,
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 244
x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 – (______) = 0
2x2 + 4x – 240 = 0
x2 + 2x – 120 = 0
x2 + (______) – (______) – 120 = 0
x(x + 12) – (______) (x + 12) = 0
(x + 12)(x – 10) = 0
x = (______)/x = 10
But natural number cannot be negative, x = – 12 is not possible.
Therefore first even natural number is x = 10.
Second even consecutive natural number = x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12.
