In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Pipe A takes thrice the time taken by Pipe B to fill a tank. Together they can fill the tank in 15 hours, tank A and B is opened together for 4 hours and then Pipe A is closed and after 2 more hours Pipe B is closed and an outlet Pipe C is opened which when working alone can empty the tank in 10 hours. Calculate the time taken by C to empty the tank. Quantity B: A pipe A can fill the tank in 10 hours another pipe B can fill the tank in 15 hours and with the help of third pipe C they can fill the tank in 5 hours. Pipe A is opened for 4 hours then it is closed, pipe B is closed 3 hours before filling of tank and tank C is opened the whole time. Calculate the time taken to fill the tank

There are two water taps in a tank which can fill the empty tank in 12 hours and 18 hours respectively. It is seen that there is a leakage point at the bottom of the tank which can empty the completely filled tank in 36 hours. If both the water taps are opened at the same time to fill the empty tank and leakage point was repaired after 1 hour, then in how much time the empty tank will be completely filled?
A tank has an optional adjustable outlet pipe that can be attached to the tank at any height we want. This outlet pipe drains water from the tank at a constant rate, while the tank is being filled using another inlet pipe at a constant rate. If the outlet, pipe is attached at half the height of the tank, the tank, which is initially empty gets filled in 18 hours. If the outlet pipe is attached at height equal to two third height of the tank, the tank, which is initially empty, is filled in 16 hours. In how many hours will the tank, which is initially empty, be completely filled if the outlet pipe is not attached to the tank?
A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twenty-fourth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-eighth of its usual capacity, during the fourth hours at one-fourth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one-half as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipe working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?

An empty pool is being filled with water at a constant rate, 3/5th of the pool has filled in 7 hours. How much more time will it take to completely fill the pool?
A pipe, working at full speed, can fill an empty cistern in 1 hour. However, during the first hour it worked at one-twelfth of its capacity, during the second hour at one-ninth of its capacity, during the third hour at one-sixth of its usual capacity and during the fifth hour it was only one -third as efficient as it was supposed to be. A second pipe also displayed similar performance, but if it worked at full speed would have filled the empty cistern in 2 hours. Together with a drain pipe that drained water out of the tank at a constant rate, the empty cistern could be filled in 5 hours, all the three pipes working concurrently. How many hours will it take the drain pipe to empty the filled cistern if no other pipe was functioning during the time?
A cistern is fitted with many inlets and outlet taps. All inlet taps fill the cistern at the same rate and outlet taps empty the cistern at the same rate. The empty cistern gets filled in 10 hours when 9 inlet and 5 outlet taps are opened. It takes 30 hours when 6 inlets and 5 outlets are opened. How much time does it take for the empty cistern to completely get filled if 2 inlets and 2 outlet taps are opened?
Two inlet pipes P and Q can fill an empty tank in 5 hours and 4 hours respectively. There is an outlet pipe R in the tank which can empty the fully filled tank in 6 hours. Both the inlet pipes P and Q are opened to fill the empty tank, but after 3 hours it is observed that the outlet pipe is also open, immediately it is closed then find in how much time the tank will be completely filled after closing the outlet pipe R?
