Description : A tank is 1/4th full. Two pipes which fill the tank in 30minutes and 40 minutes respectively are opened simultaneously. After 10 minutes, a third pipe which empties the full tank in 60 minutes is also opened. In how many minutes the tank will be full? A) 14 B) 12 C) 15 D) 17

Last Answer : A Since 1/4th is already filled, 3/4th is to filled now. (1/30 + 1/40)*(10+x) – (1/60)*x = ¾ 7/120(10+x)-x/60=3/4 7x-2x/120=3/4-7/12 5x/120=1/6 30x=120 X=4 So total 10+4=14minutes
