Answer:

Given:

Cold water faucet fills the sink in 4 minutes.

Both faucets fills the sink in 3 minutes.

Let us assume that "t" be the time it takes hot water faucet in order to fill the sink.

Therefore;

<em>Rate for hot water faucet fills the sink = \frac{1}{time} = \frac{1}{t} </em>

<em>Rate at which cold water faucet fills the sink = \frac{1}{time} = \frac{1}{4} </em>

When both faucets are used , the rate at which they fill the sink is given as :

<em>\frac{1}{t} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{3} </em>

On solving the above equation, we get :

<em>4t = 3t +12</em>

<em>∴ t = 12\ minutes</em>

<em>Therefore, it takes 12 minutes for the hot water faucet to fill the sink.</em>
