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
