Pipe A and Pipe B fill a tank in 16 and 24 minutes respectively. Another pipe at the bottom, Pipe C drain the tank at the rate of 25 liters per minute. If all three of them are opened simultaneously. then the tank will be full 12 minutes. What is the capacity of the tank?

A) 1000 Ltrs.
B) 2000 Ltrs.
C) 1200 Ltrs.
D) 1600 Ltrs.

Correct Answer:



C) 1200 Ltrs.

Description for Correct answer:
\( \Large \frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{12}\ or\ C = 48\ min. \)

Rate at which C drains the tank = 25 ltr/min.

Therefore, the capacity of the tank = \( \Large 25 \times 48 \) = 1200 ltrs.
