A, B, C are three pipes connected to a tank. A and B together can fill the tank in 6h, B and C can together fill the tank in 10 hours and A and C together fill it in h. Calculate the time taken by all the three to fill the tank.
[SSC CGL 2013]
Explanation
According to the formula, if pipe can comletely fill a tank in x hours, then the portion filled in 1 hour is
So,
Time taken by A and B together is 6 h ---Eq 1
Time taken by B and C together is 6 h ---Eq2
Time taken by C and A together is 6 h ---Eq3
Adding up all the equations,
Therefore, pipes A, B and C together can fill the tank in 5 h
∴ th part of the tank will be filled by the pipe in 1 hour.
Hence option D is correct.
