  • A
    $12$
  • B

Two pipes $A$ and $B$ can fill a tank in $30$ $minutes$ and $45$ $minutes$ respectively. Pipe $C$ can empty the tank in $36$ $minutes$. Initially,pipes $A$ and $B$ are opened. After $12$ $minutes$,pipe $C$ is also opened. What is the total time (in $minutes$) required to fill the tank?

Taps $A, B$ and $C$ are attached to a tank. The rates of water flow through them are $42 \ L/h$,$56 \ L/h$,and $48 \ L/h$ respectively. $A$ and $B$ are inlet taps,while $C$ is an outlet tap. If all the taps are opened simultaneously,the tank is filled in $16 \ h$. What is the capacity of the tank (in $L$)?

Two pipes $A$ and $B$ can fill a tank in $24$ $min.$ and $48$ $min.$ respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously,after how much time (in $minutes$) $B$ should be closed so that the tank is full in $20$ $minutes$?

Two taps $A$ and $B$ can fill a tank in $25$ $min$ and $20$ $min$ respectively. However,the taps are not opened properly,so taps $A$ and $B$ allow only $\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ of their normal water flow,respectively. How long will they take to fill the tank (in $min$)?

$A$ pipe can fill a tank with thrice the speed of another pipe. If both the pipes together take $36$ $min$ to fill an empty tank completely,then how much time will it take for the slower pipe to fill the tank alone?
