Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 1 h and 75 min, respectively. There is also an outlet C . If all the three pipes are opened together. The tank is full 50 min. How much time will be taken by C to empty the full tank?

Correct Answer: 100 min

Explanation:

Work done by C in 1 min = (1/60 + 1/75 - 1/50 )
= (5 + 4 - 6)/300 = 3/300 = 1/100
Hence, C can empty the full tank in 100 min.
