  • Question
  • Pipe A can fill a Tank in 30 min, while pipe B can fill the same tank in 10 min and pipe C can empty the full tank in 40 min. If all the pipes are opened together, how much time will be needed to make the tank full?


  • Options
  • A. 93/13 h
  • B. 94/13 h
  • C. 97/13 h
  • D. 99/13 h

  • Correct Answer
  • 93/13 h 

    Explanation

    Part filled by A in 1 min = 1/30
    Part filled by B in 1 min = 1/10
    Part emptied by C in 1 min = - 1/40
    Net part filled in 1 h by ( A + B + C ) = ( 1/30 + 1/10 - 1/40 )
    = (4 + 12 - 3)/120 = 13/120

    ? Required time to fill the tank = 120/13 = 93/13 h
