Three pipes A, B, and C can fill a tank from empty to full in 30 minutes, 20 minutes, and 10 minutes respectively. When the tank is empty, all three pipes are opened. A, B, and C discharge chemical solutions P, Q, and R respectively. What is the proportion of the solution R in the liquid in the tank after 3 minutes?
- (A) 5/11
- (B) 6/11
- (C) 7/11
- (D) 8/11
Add
Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 5 and 6 hours respectively. Pipe C can empty it in 12 hours. If all three pipes are opened together, then the tank will be filled in:
- (A) 1* 13/17 hours
- (B) 2 * 8/11 hours
- (C) 3* 9/17 hours
- (D) 4* ½ hours
Add
A pump can fill a tank with water in 25 hours. Because of a leak, it took 27 hours to fill the tank. The leak can drain all the water from the tank in:
- (A) 4 ⅓ hours
- (B) 7hours
- (C) 8 hours
- (D) 14 hours
Add
Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 37 *1/2 minutes and 45 minutes respectively. Both pipes are opened. The cistern will be filled in just half an hour if B is turned off after:
- (A) 5 min
- (B) 9 min
- (C) 10 min
- (D) 15 min
Add
A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5 hours faster than the first pipe and 4 hours slower than the third pipe. The time required by the first pipe is:
- (A) 6 hours
- (B) 10 hours
- (C) 15 hours
- (D) 30 hours
Add
Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively, and a waste pipe can empty 3 gallons per minute. All three pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is:
- (A) 60 gallons
- (B) 100 gallons
- (C) 120 gallons
- (D) 180 gallons
Add
A tank is filled in 5 hours by three pipes A, B, and C. Pipe C is twice as fast as B, and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?
- (A) 20 hours
- (B) 25 hours
- (C) 35 hours
- (D) Cannot be determined
- (E) None of these
Add
Two pipes A and B together can fill a cistern in 4 hours. Had they been opened separately, then B would have taken 6 hours more than A to fill the cistern. How much time will be taken by A to fill the cistern separately?
- (A) 1 hour
- (B) 2 hours
- (C) 6 hours
- (D) 8 hours
Add
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 and 30 minutes respectively. If both pipes are used together, how long will it take to fill the tank?
- (A) 12 min
- (B) 15 min
- (C) 25 min
- (D) 50 min
Add
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 15 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. Both pipes are opened together, but after 4 minutes, pipe A is turned off. What is the total time required to fill the tank?
- (A) 10 min 20 sec
- (B) 11 min 45 sec
- (C) 12 min 30 sec
- (D) 14 min 40 sec
