Pipe A’s one minute's work = 1/60 Pipe B’s one minute's work = 1/75 Pipe C’s one minute's work = -1/100 ( minus sign indicates that pipe C empties tank) (A + B + C)’s three minute's work = 1/60 + 1/75 – 1/100 = 6/300 = 1/50 Hence, in 49 × 3 minutes, (49/50)th part will be filled. Hence, remaining part = 1/50 In next one minute, A will fill 1/60 part, hence, remaining part = 1/50 - 1/60 = 1/300. Next, the pipe B will be opened, which will take 75/300 = 1/4 minutes to fill it. Thus, A, B and C will together take 49 × 3 + 1 + 1/4 = 148.25 minutes.Related questions
