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.
