Three pipes are connected to a cistern such that pipes A
and B can fill the cistern in 12 minutes and 18 minutes respectively, and pipe C can empty the cistern in 24 minutes. If all the pipes are opened together and pipe B is closed after a certain time, the total time taken to fill the cistern is 15 minutes. Find after how many minutes pipe B should be closed.Solution
