A tank has three pipes A, B and C. Pipe A and B can fill the tank in 3 and 4h respectively. While pipe C can empty the completely filled tank in 1 hour. If all the pipes are opened in order at 3 pm, 4 pm and 5 pm respectively at what time the cistern will be empty?
[SSC 2007]
Explanation
Let the capacity of the tank be x L
As per the question,
Quantity of water emptied by the leak in 1 h
And to empty 4L in 1h
Quantity of water filled by the tap in 1 min = 4L
∴1h=4L
As per the question,
Hence option D is correct.
