Pipe A fills it in 8 hours at 6 litres per hour.
Pipe B fills it in 6 hours at 8 litres per hour.
Total of 28 litres would be filled in 2 hours with both pipes open.
Afetr 2 hours Pipe A is closed.Hence Pipe B has to fill the remaining tank.
Quantity of water needed to fill the tank is =48-28 = 20 litres.
Pipe B fills at the rate of 8 litres per hour.
Hence it takes 2.5 hours for Pipe B to fill remaining 20 litres of the tank.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.
