Level 3 PSLE
The figure shows an empty tank placed below two taps A and B. It takes 10 min to fill the tank with Tap A alone and 2 min Tap B alone.
- With only Tap A turned on, what fraction of the tank will be filled in 1 minute?
- Starting with an empty tank, how long does it take for both taps together to fill 14 of the tank? Give your answer in seconds.

The figure shows Tap A, Tap B and an empty tank with a capacity of 54.2 litres. Water flows Tap A at 3.1 litres per minute and from Tap B at 2.9 litres per minute. Tap A was turned on first. Tap B was turned on 2 minutes later. The taps were turned off at the same time when the tank was completely filled without overflowing. How much water flowed from Tap A?

The figure shows a sealed bottle of height 35 cm. It is made from two containers. The top container is in the form of a cuboid with a square base. The bottom container is in the form of a cube of side 20cm. The height of the water in the bottle (shown in Figure A) is 18 cm.
When the same bottle is turned upside down (shown in Figure B), the height of the water in the bottle is 29 cm. How much water can the sealed bottle hold if it is completely filled?

The figure shows 2 completely filled tanks being emptied of the water from 2 different taps. The difference in height between Tank X and Tank Y is 5 cm. The taps at Tank X and Tank Y were turned on at 0700 and 0830. respectively, until both were completely empty. At 1100, the water level in both tanks was the same. At 1230, Tank Y was completely empty and Tank X was only completely empty at 1300. If the rate of the flow of water from each tap was constant throughout, what was the height of Tank Y?

Two rectangular tanks are shown. At first, Tank X was empty and one quarter of Tank Y was filled with water. Both taps were turned on at the same time and water from both taps flowed at the same rate of 1.6 litres per minute. How much time will it take for the height of the water to be the same in both tanks? (1 litre = 1000 cm3 )
