  • Question
  • A cistern has 3 pipes A, B and C, A and B can fill it in 2 and 3 hours respectively. C is a waste pipe. If all the 3 pipes be opened at once, 7/24 of the cistern will be filled up in 30 minutes. In what time can C empty the full cistern?


  • Options
  • A. 3 hours
  • B. 4 hours
  • C. 5 hours
  • D. 6 hours

  • Correct Answer
  • 4 hours 

    Explanation

    ? 7/24 of the cistern will be filled up in 1/2 hr.
    ? The whole of the cistern will be filled up in (1/2) x (24/7) = 12/7 hrs.
    Let the pipe C be empty the whole cistern in h hours
    Now, applying the given rule we have,
    (2 x 3 x h) / (3 x h + 2 x h - 2 x 3) = 12/7
    or 42h = 60h - 72
    ? h = 4 hours.
