Answer : 2. "26.166 minutes"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 26.166 minutes Explanation: Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120 For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120 So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120 So remaining tank = 13/120 Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.
