Question : Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 18 minutes and $22 \frac{1}{2}$ minutes, respectively while pipe C can empty the full tank in 12 minutes. A and B are opened together for 6 minutes and then closed. Now C is opened. C alone will empty the tank in ____.
Option 1: $5$ minutes
Option 2: $8 \frac{2}{5}$ minutes
Option 3: $7 \frac{1}{5}$ minutes
Option 4: $6$ minutes
Correct Answer: $7 \frac{1}{5}$ minutes
Solution : $22\frac12=\frac{45}{2}$ Total work LCM of 18, $\frac{45}{2}$, and 12 = 180 units Work done by pipe A and pipe B in 6 min = (10 + 8) × 6 = 108 Pipe C alone empty the tank filled by pipe A and pipe B in 6 min = $\frac{108}{15}$ ⇒ $7\frac15$ minutes Hence, the correct answer is $7\frac15$ minutes.
