Explanation:

Pipe A can fill a tank in x hours and pipe B can fill a tank in y hours and pipe C can empty it in z hours. If all the pipes are operate simultaneously, 1 hours of work of each of the three pipes = 1/x +1/y - 1/z
1 minutes work of each of the three pipes = 1/10 + 1/12 - 1/20 = 15/2 hours
= 7 ½ hour = 7 hours 30 minutes.
