उत्तर
P's one minute's work =`1/24`
Q's one minute's work =`1/32`
Let the first pipe must turn off x minutes
The cistern filled in 16 minutes
Then P's x minutes work + Q's 16 minutes work = 1
`⇒1/24xx"x"+1/32xx16=1`
`"x"/24+1/2=1`
`⇒"x"/24=1-1/2=1/2`
`⇒"x"/24=1/2`
`⇒"x"=24/2=12`
∴ After 12 minute pipe P would turned off
