Tub's total capacity = 12 gallon. Question dictates Tub has 3 gallons already filled up. So we have to find out what time it takes to fill up rest 9 gallon (12-3) considering the faucet and drain. As given for faucet, it takes 1 min to fill up 3 gallons and it takes 1 min to drain 1.5 gallons. So within 1 min the tub actually fills 1.5 gallons (3-1.5) Now 1.5 gallons are filled up in 1 min 1 gallon is filled up in 1/1.5 min so 9 gallons are filled up in (1/1.5) *9 mins = 6 mins (ANS)Related questions
