Answer : 2. "7 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 7 hrs Explanation: Given, P can fill in 12 hrs Q can fill in 15 hrs R can fill in 20 hrs => Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit => P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs => Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs => R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs Tank can be filled in the way that (P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + .... => Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit => In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit => In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit => So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.
