1.

A bath tub can be filled by the cold water and hot water pipes in 10 mins

and 15 mins, respectively. A person leaves the bathroom after turning on

both pipes simultaneously and returns at the moment when the bath
should be full. Finding, however, that the waste pipe has been open, he
then closes it. In exactly 4 mins more the bath is fill. In how much time
would the waste pipe empty the full bath, if it alone is opened.

1/10+1/15 = 1/6 6min(time taken by both pipes)

capacity of tank filled by both pipes in 4 min = capacity of tank emptied by waste tank in 6min
4/10 + 4/15 = 2/3
means 2/3 emptied in 6 min
1 emptied in = 6*3/2 = 9min

2. Two chords intersect within a circle to form an angle whose measure is 53. If the
intercepted arcs are represented by 3x + 3 and 10x - 14, find the measure of larger of
these two arcs.

angle formed inside two arc= 1/2(sum of intercepted arc)

x=9
largest arc =76
