Q16
If all three pipes are opened simultaneously when the tank is empty, how long will it take to fill the tank completely?
Correct Option: C
Detailed Solution
Let total capacity be LCM(12, 15, 20) = 60 units. Efficiency of A = 60/12 = +5 units/hr. Efficiency of B = 60/15 = +4 units/hr. Efficiency of C = 60/20 = -3 units/hr. Net efficiency = 5 + 4 - 3 = 6 units/hr. Time = 60 / 6 = 10 hours.
