Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 30 min, 20 min and 10 min, respectively. When the tank is empty, all the three pipes are opened. If A, B and C discharge chemical solution P, Q and R respectively, then the part of solution R in the liquid in the tank after 3 min is ?

- 8/11
- 5/11
- 6/11
- 7/11
Correct Option: C
Total quantity of solution P, Q and R from A, B and C receptively, after 3min
= 3/30 + 3/20 + 3/10 = 3 x (2 + 3 + 6)/60 = 11/20
Quantity of solution R in liquid in 3 min = 3/10
∴ part of solution R = [3/10] / [11/20 ] = (3 x 20)/(10 x 11) = 6/11
