So, time taken by larger pipe to fill the pool is 20 hrs. and time taken by smaller pipe is 30 hrs.

Let x hours be the total time taken by the larger pipe to fill the tank. So, in 1 hour it would fill 1/x part of tank. Similarly, y hours are needed for the smaller pipe. Then, in 1 hour it would fill 1/y part. A.T.Q - y= 10 + x......(1) And , 4/x + 9/y = 1/2.....(2) . Put the value of y in (2) , we get, 4/x + 9/ 10+x = 1/2 => x^2-16x-80=O => (x-20) (x+4) => Either x=20 or x= -4 . Since, the value of x can't be negative. So, x = 20 and y = x+10 = 20+10=30
