Taps A, B and C are attached with a tank and velocity of water coming through them are 42 L/h, 56 L/h and 48 L/h, respectively. A and B are inlets and C is outlet. If all the taps are opened simultaneously, tank is filled in 16 h. What is the capacity of the tank?

A) 2346 L

B) 1600 L

C) 800 L

D) 960 L

Correct answer:
C) 800 L

Description for Correct answer:
Quantity of water admitted by tap 1 in 1 h = 42 L

Quantity of water admitted by tap 2 in 1 h = 56 L

Quantity of water removed by tap 3 in 1 h = 48 L

So, quantity of water filled in the tank in 1 h = \( \Large \left(42+56-48\right) \) = 50 L

Therefore, Quantity of water filled in 16 h = \( \Large 16 \times 50 = 800\ L \)

Hence, capacity of tank = 800 L
