Answer : 3. "24min"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 24min Explanation: Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore,   part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30   part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40   Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore,   part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60   Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24   i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.

Answer :
Explanation :

1. Answer (c) Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it. Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2 2. Answer (d) Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it. Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's) = 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4) = 19 - 8 = 11.
