Samson can fill an empty bathtub with a cold water tap in 6 minutes and 40 seconds or with a hot water tap in 8 minutes. Draining the full bathtub, while the plug is out, takes 13 minutes and 20 seconds. How long will it take Samson to fill the empty bathtub completely with both the cold and hot taps running, while the plug is out?


选项

A.

16 minutes

B.

12 minutes

C.

8.6 minutes

D.

5 minutes

E.

4.75 minutes

解析

冷水龙头注满浴缸需要\( 6\frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} \)分钟,因此注水速率为\( \frac{3}{20} \)浴缸/分钟。同理,热水龙头注满浴缸需要8分钟,注水速率为\( \frac{1}{8} \)浴缸/分钟。而排空浴缸需要\( 13\frac{1}{3} = \frac{40}{3} \)分钟,排水速率为\( \frac{3}{40} \)浴缸/分钟。 因此,当冷、热水龙头同时打开且排水口开启时,净进水速率为: \( \frac{3}{20} + \frac{1}{8} - \frac{3}{40} = \frac{6}{40} + \frac{5}{40} - \frac{3}{40} = \frac{8}{40} = \frac{1}{5} \)浴缸/分钟 由于时间是速率的倒数,注满整个浴缸所需的时间为5分钟。 答案:D
