    Pipe A fills a tank in 20 minutes and Pipe B fills it in

    30 minutes. Pipe C can empty it in 60 minutes. If all three pipes are opened together, in how many minutes will the tank be filled?
    A 18 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, A's 1-min work = 1/20 B's 1-min work = 1/30 C's 1-min work = -1/60 Net work per minute = 1/20 + 1/30 - 1/60 = 3/60 + 2/60 - 1/60 = 4/60 = 1/15 So tank fills in 15 minutes
