SOLUTIONThis one I guess many of you will get it right.
Tap A fills a container in 3 hours. Tap B fills the same container in 2 hours. Tap C empties the same container in 6 hours. When all the taps are turned on at the same time, how long does it take to fill the container?
If are opened simultaneously
Time for water flowing into a container
Ta + Tb
3/2+ 2/2= 5/2 hours
Time for empty a container
Is done by tap C
Tc = 6 hours
The difference in time is a time taken to filk container
6 - 5/2= 7/2 hour = 3.5 hours
This is a time for filling a container if all tap are opened simultaneously
Answer = 3.5 hours
