Question: Two pipes, A and B, can fill a tank in 37.5 minutes and 45 minutes. If both pipes are open, after how many minutes should pipe B be closed to fill the tank in half an hour?

Solution:
নল A দ্বারা 37.5 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হয় 1 অংশ
∴ 1 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হয় = (1/37.5) অংশ
∴ 30 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হয় = 30/37.5 = 300/375 = 4/5 অংশ 

∴ পূর্ণ হওয়ার বাকি থাকে = 1 - (4/5)
= (5 - 4)/5
= 1/5 অংশ 

B নল দ্বারা ,
1 অংশ পূর্ণ হতে সময় লাগে = 45 মিনিট
∴ 1/5 অংশ পূর্ণ হতে সময় লাগে = 45 × (1/5) = 9 মিনিট 
 
 ∴ B নলটি 9 মিনিট পর বন্ধ করলে  ট্যাংকটি 30 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হবে। 

Shortcut:
(30/37.5) + (x/45) = 1 (whole)
⇒ 0.8 + (x/45) = 1
⇒ x/45 = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2
⇒ x = 0.2 × 45 = 9
