Expert Answer
 
 
Let, the time taken to fill the tank when both the inlet and the outlet pipes are opened simultaneously be x.
So, In 1 hr the part of tank which is filled = 1/x
 
According to the question,
begin mathsize 16px style 1 over straight x space equals space 1 over 10 space minus space 1 over 15 rightwards double arrow fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style straight x end style end fraction space equals fraction numerator 15 space minus space 10 over denominator 150 end fraction rightwards double arrow space straight x space equals space 150 over 5 equals space 30 end style
 
Therefore, the time taken to fill the tank when both the inlet and the outlet pipes are opened simultaneously is 30 hours.
