    An electric kettle has two coils. When one of these is switched on, the water in the kettle boils in 6 min. When the other coil is switched on, the water boils in 3 min. If the two coils are connected in series, the time taken to boil the water in the kettle is

    A) 3 min               

    B) 6 min             

    C) 2 min               

    D) 9 min

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In series \[\frac{1}{{{P}_{S}}}=\frac{1}{{{P}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{P}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\frac{1}{({{H}_{s}}/{{t}_{s}})}\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{({{H}_{1}}/{{t}_{1}})}\,\,\,\,+\,\,\frac{1}{({{H}_{2}}/{{t}_{2}})}\] \[\because \,\,\,\,\,\,{{H}_{s}}={{H}_{1}}={{H}_{2}}\] So \[{{t}_{s}}={{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}=6+3=9\,\,\min \]
