1. The pipe can independently fill a water tank in 10,12 and 15 hours. How many hours will take for all three pipes opened together to fill half of the tanks?

  • A. 6
  • B. 6
  • C. 6
  • D. 6

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

In 1 hour 3 pipes can fill = 1/10 + 1/12 + 1/15

= ( 6 + 5 + 4) /60 = 15/60 = 1/4

1/4 portion can fill 1 hour

1/2 portion can fill 4/2 hour = 2 hour
