If a pipe A can empty a full tank in x hours and two pipes C & D can fill the tank in y hours and z hours respectively then the part of tank filled in 1 hour, when all the pipes are opened together, is _________. |
$\frac{xy+xy-yz}{xyz}$ $\frac{yz+zx-xy}{xyz}$ $\frac{zy+xy-zx}{xyz}$ $\frac{xy+yz+zx}{xyz}$ |
$\frac{xy+xy-yz}{xyz}$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{xy+xy-yz}{xyz}$ Pipe A → Work Done = $\frac{-1}{x}$ [Emptying] Pipe B → Work Done = $\frac{1}{y}$ Pipe C → Work Done = $\frac{1}{z}$ Total work done in 1 hour = $\frac{-1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$ |
