Pond A has 200-112 or 88 cubic meter more water than pond B.

Pipe B fills in 22 cubic meter more water than pipe A, so it will cover the excess water 88cum in 88/22 or 4 hrs.

Solution:

Additional water in pond a = 200-112 =88 cubic metres

If pipe B pours 22 cubic meters more water than pipe A does which means in 4 hours 4*22=88 cubic meters would have been filled in pond b and that's when both the ponds would have same amount of water.(option b)
