Q)

Pipe A and B can fill a tank in 5 and 6 hours respectively. Pipe C can fill it in 30 hours. If all the three pipes are opened together, then in how much time tank will be filled up?

[Bank PO 2007]


  • Explanation

    Part of the tank filled by Pipe A in 1 hour is 15

    Part of the tank filled by Pipe B in 1 hour is 16

    Part of the tank filled by pipe C in 1 hour is 130

    Net part filled in 1 hour when all pipes are opened together 15+16+130

    =6+5+130=1230=25

    Required time =52=212 hours

    Hence option B is correct
