Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively and a waste pipe can empty 3 gallons per minute. All the three pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is?
120 gallons
Work done by the waste pipe in 1 minute
=115−(120+124)=(115−11120)=−140. [−ve sign means emptying]
∴ Volume of 1/40 part = 3 gallons.
Total volume =3×40 gallons = 120 gallons.
