Answer:
12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it takes 4 minutes to fill the bathtub with both taps on and stopper is in then for each minute the 2 taps can fill up to a quarter (1/4) of the tub:
Similarly, it takes 6 minutes to drain the tub with both taps off and the stopper is out. This means for each minute the stopper can drain one sixth (1/6) of the tub.
Therefore, when both taps are on and the stopper is out, then for each minutes, the amount of water remaining in the tub is the water flowing in minus the water draining out
So for each minute, one twelveth of the tub is filled, for the tub to be completely filled in, it would take 12 minutes

See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
- The demand function of a certain brand is given as price P a function of x quantity of goods ( in hundred ) demanded per month. The relation is:
P ( x ) = 50 Ln ( 50 / x ).
- The point price elasticity ( E ) of demand is given by:
- Where, dP / dx : is the rate of change of price ( P ) with each hundred unit of good ( x ) is demanded.
- To determine the " dP / dx " by taking the first derivative of the given relation:
P ( x ) = 50 Ln ( 50 / x ).
d P ( x ) / dx = [ 50*x / 50 ] * [ -1*50 / x^2 ]
= - 50 / x
- Hence the point price elasticity of demand is given by:
E = - ( P / x ) * ( 50 / x )
E = -50*P / x^2
- For an inelastic demand, ! E ! is < 1:
! -50*P / x^2 ! < 1
50*P / x^2 < 1
P < x^2 / 50
- For an unitary demand, ! E ! is = 1:
! -50*P / x^2 ! = 1
50*P / x^2 = 1
P = x^2 / 50
- For an inelastic demand, ! E ! is > 1:
! -50*P / x^2 ! > 1
50*P / x^2 > 1
P > x^2 / 50
2)
If the unit price is increased slightly from $50, will the revenue increase or decrease?
- We see from the calculated demand sensitivity d P / dt:
d P ( x ) / dx = - 50 / x
- We see that as P increases the from P = $50, the quantity of goods demanded would be:
50 = 50 ln(50/x)
1 = Ln ( 50 / x )
50/x = e
x = 50 / e
Then,
d P ( x ) / dx = - 50 / ( 50 / e )
d P ( x ) / dx = - e
- We see that if price slightly increases from $ 50 then the quantity demanded would decrease by e (hundreds ) goods.
- The decrease in the quantity demanded is higher than the increase in price. The revenue is given by the product of price P ( x ) and x:
Revenue R ( x ) = P ( x ) * x
= 50*x*ln(50/x)
Then the product of price and quantity goods also decreases; hence, revenue decreases.
