Q:
A) 24.315 minutes | B) 26.166 minutes |
C) 22.154 minutes | D) 24 minutes |
Answer: B) 26.166 minutes
Explanation:
Explanation:
Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120
For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120
So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120
Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes
Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.
