A swimming pool has four faucets. The first can fill the entire pool with water in two days, the second - in three days, the third - in four days and the last one can fill the pool in 6 hours. How long will it take to fill the pool using all 4 faucets together?
Given:
Faucet one fills the pool in 2 days = 48 hours
Faucet two fills the pool in 3 days = 72 hours
Faucet three fills the pool in 4 days = 96 hours
Faucet one fills the pool in 6 hours.
The first faucet takes 48 hours to fill the pool
∴ In one hour it fills
of the pool
Similarly,
The second faucet ![]()
The third faucet ![]()
And the fourth faucet fills
of the pool
We need to add all those fractions together:![]()
![]()
![]()
So, in one hour the pool will be
full
And it will be completely full in![]()
= 4 hours 43 minutes and 17 seconds.
