Question

Time taken by pipe B to fill the tank alone is 30×23=2030 \times \frac{2}{3} = 20 hours. Let the total capacity of the tank be 60 units. The efficiencies of pipes A, B, and C are 6, 3, and 2 units/hour respectively. Calculate the volume (approx.) of the initially empty tank P filled in 1 hour when all three pipes are opened simultaneously. (Time taken by pipe C is 30 hours.)
