  1. Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 h and 30 h, respectively and pipe C can empty the full tank in 40 h. If all the pipes are opened together, how much time will be needed to make the tank full ?
    1. 161/7 h
    2. 171/7 h
    3. 181/7 h
    4. 191/7 h
Correct Option: B

Net part filed in 1 h = (1/20 + 1/30 - 1/40) = 7/120
Hence, the tank will be full in 120/7 = 171/7 h
