With both valves open, the pool will be filled with water in 48 minutes. The first valve alone would fill the pool in 2 hours. If the second valve emits 50 cubic meters of water more than the first every minute, then what is the capacity E of the pool?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:	A) 9000 cubic meters	B) 10500 cubic meters	C) 11750 cubic meters	D) 12000 cubic meters	E) 12500 cubic meters

Rationale: d . 12000 cubic meters . if both hte valves fill the pool in 48 minutes and valve 1 only fills in 120 minutes then valve 2 alone will fill the pool in ( 48 * 120 ) / ( 120 - 48 ) = 80 minutes . now , if valve 1 admits x cubic meter of water per minute then the capacity of pool will be 120 x and also 80 ( x + 50 ) . or , 120 x = 80 ( x + 50 ) . or x = 100 . hence , the capacity of pool = 120 x = 12000 cubic meters .
Answer: D
