Answer: 2 hour


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

Quantity of water filled by the first tap in one minute= 160

Quantity of water filled by the second tap in one minute = 180

Quantity of water emptied by the third tap in one minute = 148

Quantitynof water filled in one minute , when all the 3 taps are opened = 160 + 180 - 148   (240 is LCM)

                                                                                                               =  (4 + 3 - 5) / 240

                                                                                                               = 2240

                                                                                                             = 1120

                                                        Time taken to fill the tank         = 1/( 1120 )

                                                                                                                = 120 min / 60

                                                                                                                 = 2 hr



2)  

 Two taps can fill a tank in 150 min &200 minutes.Another tap can empty it in 120 minutes. If the tank is empty & all the three taps are kept open,in how much time the tank will be filled

Answer: 5 hour


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

Quantity of water filled by the first tap in one minute= 1150

Quantity of water filled by the second tap in one minute = 1200

Quantity of water emptied by the third tap in one minute = 1120

Quantitynof water filled in one minute , when all the 3 taps are opened = 1150 + 1200 - 1120   (600 is LCM)

                                                                                                               =  (4 + 3 - 5) / 600

                                                                                                             = 1300

                                                        Time taken to fill the tank         = 1/( 1300 )

                                                                                                                = 300 min / 60

                                                                                                                 = 5 hr



3)  

 Two taps can fill a tank in 90 min &120 minutes.Another tap can empty it in 72 minutes. If the tank is empty & all the three taps are kept open,in how much time the tank will be filled

Answer: 3 hour


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:
