    Time taken to fill the bathtub is 8 min

    time taken to drain the bathtub is 12 min

    fraction of bathtub filled in 1 hour=1/8

    fraction of bathtub drained in 1 hour=1/12

    fraction that will be filled in a minute given that both taps are opened at he same time:

    1/8-1/12

    =1/24

    thus time taken for the bathtub to be filled is 24 min
