Three pipes P, Q, R can fill a tank separately in 4, 5 and 6 hours respectively. Find the time taken by all three pipes to fill the tank when the pipes are opened together.
Explanation
According to the above given formula, If pipe A and B fills a tank in x and y hours respectively, but a third pipe C empties the full tank in z hours then the net portion filled in 1 hour when all of them are opened together is hours.
So,
Therefore, the tank will be filled in hours when all the pipes are opened simultaneously.
Hence, option A is correct.
