      Question

      Pipe ‘A’ can fill a 120-litre tank in 24 hours. If

      pipe ‘A’ is 25% more efficient than pipe ‘C’ whereas pipe ‘B’ is 50% more efficient than pipe ‘C’, then find the time (in minutes) taken by all the given three pipes to fill the same tank together.
      A 240 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 180 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 120 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 210 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 150 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      According to Question;  Efficiency of pipe ‘A’ = (120/24) = 5 litres/hour  Efficiency of pipe ‘C’ = 5 ÷ 1.25 = 4 litres/hour  Efficiency of pipe ‘B’ = 4 × 1.5 = 6 litres/hour  Time taken by all the pipes together to fill the tank = {120/(5 + 4 + 6)} = (120/15) = 8 hours  Or, time taken by all three pipes together to fill the tank = 8 × 15 = 120 minutes
