Question 30
Two tapes A and B can fill a tank in 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. The tank can be emptied by a third tap C in 6 minutes. If A and B are kept open for 5 minutes in the beginning and then C is opened along with A and B being kept open, the time taken to empty the tank is:
A
60 minutes
B
45 minutes
C
30 minutes
D
75 minutes
Question 30 Explanation: 
A → 12 min = 1/12
B → 15 min = 1/15
C → 6 min = -(⅙)
=((1/12)+(1/15))*5
=((15+12)/(12*15))*5
=27/36

= (1/12) + (1/15) – (⅙)
= (15+12-(15*2))/15*12
= -3 / (15*12)
= -(1/60)
1 Tank → 60 min
¾ Tank → 45 min

Correct Answer: B
Question 30 Explanation: 
A → 12 min = 1/12
B → 15 min = 1/15
C → 6 min = -(⅙)
=((1/12)+(1/15))*5
=((15+12)/(12*15))*5
=27/36

= (1/12) + (1/15) – (⅙)
= (15+12-(15*2))/15*12
= -3 / (15*12)
= -(1/60)
1 Tank → 60 min
¾ Tank → 45 min
