Answer & Explanation
Answer –a) 6(2/11)hr
Explanation :
In first hour only A is opened, in the next hour A and B are opened and in the third hour A, B and C are opened.
So, in three hours (3/12 + 2/15 + 1/30) = 25/60 tank is already filled.
Now, 25/60 = (1/12 + 1/15 + 1/30)*t
T = 25/11. Total time = 3 + 25/11 = 58/11=5(3/11) hours
