  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 100 min
  • B. 150 min
  • C. 200 min
  • D. 125 min

  • 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.
