    Twp pipes A& B fill a tank in 20 min & 30 mins respectively and pipe C empty the tank in 15 mins.if all pipes are opened successively then in what time tank will completely filled..??

    • Rajesh says:

      X=20,Y=30,Z=15

      THIS IS FORMULA 1/X+1/Y-1/Z

      IF WE USE LCM METHOD FORMULA WILL BE IN THIS FORM,
      X*Y*Z/ Y*Z+Z*X-Y*X

      =20*30*15/30*15+20*15-30*20
      =9000/450+300-600
      =9000/150
      =900/15
      =60 MINS
