Two inlet pipes can fill a tank in 20 minutes and 24 minutes, respectively. An outlet pipe can empty 30 litres of water per minute. If all 3 pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is : |
120 litres 1200 litres 240 litres 2400 litres |
1200 litres |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 1200 litres The equation after analyzing the statements, $\frac{C}{20}+\frac{C}{24}-30=\frac{C}{15}$ [C = Capacity of tankl] $\frac{22C}{240}-30=\frac{16C}{240}$ $22C-16C=7200$ $C=1200L$ |
