IMPORTANT FORMULAS : PIPES AND CISTERN
Inlet:
A pipe connected with a tank or a cistern or a reservoir, that fills it, is known as an inlet.
Outlet:
A pipe connected with a tank or cistern or reservoir, emptying it, is known as an outlet.
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then:
part filled in 1 hour = 1/x
If a pipe can empty a tank in y hours, then:
part emptied in 1 hour = 1/y
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on opening both the pipes, then
the net part filled in 1 hour = (1/x - 1/y)
If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where x > y), then on opening both the pipes, then
the net part emptied in 1 hour = (1/y - 1/x)

TIME AND DISTANCE : IMPORTANT FORMULAS
Speed, Time and Distance:
Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/ speed
Distance = (Speed x Time)
km/hr to m/sec conversion:
x km/hr = x X (5/18) m/sec.
m/sec to km/hr conversion:
x m/sec = x X (18/5) km/hr.
If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b, then the ratio of the
the times taken by then to cover the same distance is 1/a : 1/b or b : a.
Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then,
the average speed during the whole journey is: [2xy/(x + y)] km/hr.
Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/ speed
Distance = (Speed x Time)
km/hr to m/sec conversion:
x km/hr = x X (5/18) m/sec.
m/sec to km/hr conversion:
x m/sec = x X (18/5) km/hr.
If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b, then the ratio of the
the times taken by then to cover the same distance is 1/a : 1/b or b : a.
Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then,
