Out of three pipes the first two can fill an empty tank in 9 and 18 hours, respectively while the third can drain the filled tank in 15 hours. If all the three pipes are opened when the tank is empty, after how many hours will the tank be full?

Correct Answer: 10

A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-ninth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-sixth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one -third as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank at a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipes working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?

Two pipes X and Y can fill an empty tank in 16 hours and 20 hours respectively. Pipe Z alone can empty the completely filled tank in 25 hours. Firstly both pipes X and Y are opened and after 6 hours pipe Z is also opened. What will be the total time (in hours) taken to completely fill the tank?

Two pipes P and Q can fill an empty tank in 25 hours and 20 hours respectively. Pipe R alone can empty the completely filled tank in 50 hours. Firstly both the pipes P and Q are opened and after 8 hours pipe R is also opened. What will be the total time (in hours) taken to completely fill the tank?

Pipes A, B, and C are attached to an empty cistern. While the first two can fill the cistern in 4 and 10 hours, respectively, the third can drain the cistern, when filled, in 6 hours. If all the three pipes are opened simultaneously when the cistern is three-fifth full, how many hours will be needed to fill the cistern?

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 and 30 hours respectively. Both the pipes are opened to fill the tank but when the tank is one - third full, a leak develops in the tank through which one - third water supplied by both the pipes gose out. The total time taken to fill the tank is?

Two pipes fill a tank when working individually in 25 and 40 hours, respectively while a third pipe can drain the filled tank in 16 hours. If all the three pipes are turned on at the same time when the tank is empty, how long will it take to fill the tank completely ?

Pipes A, B and C are attached to an empty cistern. While the first two can fill the cistern in 4 and 10 hrs, respectively, the third can drain the cistern, when filled, in 6 hrs. If all the three pipes are opened simultaneously when the cistern is half-full, how many hours will be needed to fill the cistern?

A tank is fitted with 8 pipes, some of them that fill the tank and others that are waste pipe meant to those that empty the tank can empty it in 6 hours. If all the pipes are kept open when the tank is full, it will take exactly 6 hours for the tank to empty. How many of these are these are fill pipes?

Two pipes can fill a tank in 12 hours and 16 hours respectively. A third pipe can empty the tank in 30 hours. If all three pipes are opened and functions simultaneously, how much time will the tank take to be full?( in hours )

Three pipes are opened for 8 minutes each one after the other. The first two pipes can fill a tank in 20 minutes and 40 minutes, respectively. If the third pipe can empty the tank in 120 minutes, find the amount of water filled in the tank after 24 minutes. The tank is 480 litres.
