      Solution

      Let the total capacity of tank be 240 litres (LCM of 120 and 80) Efficiency of 'M' = (240/120) = 2 litres/minute Efficiency of 'N' = (240/80) = 3 litres/minute Tank filled by 'M' = 2 Γ— 30 = 60 litres Remaining part of the tank = 240 βˆ’ 60 = 180 litres Required time = (180/3) = 60 minutes
