Expert Answer
Let the volume of the cistern be V
Hence, the rate by which the top tap fills the cistern is V/1
and the rate by which the bottom tap empties the cistern is V/1.5
Hence, if both the taps are open at the same time, let the time taken for the cistern to get filled be t hours
(V/1 - V/1.5) * t =V
t = 1.5/0.5 = 3 hours
