I. Time taken to fill the cistern without leak = 9 hours. Part of cistern filled without leak in 1 hour = 1 9 II. Time taken to fill the cistern in presence of leak = 10 hours. Net filling in 1 hour = 1 10 Work done by leak in 1 hour = 1 - 1 = 1 9 10 90 Leak will empty the full cistern in 90 hours. Clearly, both I and II are necessary to answer the question. Correct answer is (E).
