DS - Bucket

by harsh.champ » Fri Feb 19, 2010 7:48 am
A bucket was placed under a dripping tap which was dripping at a uniform rate. At what time was the bucket full?

1. The bucket was put in place at 2pm.
2. The bucket was half full at 6pm and three-quarters full at 8pm.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
