A question is given followed by information in three statements. You have to find out the data in which statement (s) is sufficient to answer the question and mark your answer accordingly. How much time does pipe A take to fill a tank which has leak B at the bottom? I) Both leakage B and pipe A work simultaneously and the tank gets emptied in a few minutes II) Pipe A takes half the time leakage pipe takes to empty the tank. III) Leakage pipe B takes 60 minutes to empty the tank. Correct Answer Both II & III are sufficient

By statement I

Both leakage B and pipe A work simultaneously and the tank gets emptied in a few minutes. Here times is not given so we cannot find the relation between A and B

Statement 1 alone is not sufficient.

By statement II

Time of A = (1/2) × time of B

Statement 2 alone is not sufficient.

By statement III

Efficiency of leakage B = 60/60 = 1 liter/minute.

Statement 3 alone is not sufficient.

Combining Statement 2 and 3

Time taken by A = 30 minutes

∴ Both II & III are sufficient.

Pipe A can fill the tank in 30 minutes and pipe B also fills the tank in some time. Pipe C alone completely empty the filled tank in 15 minutes, then B alone can fill a completely empty tank when pipe C is shut? I) A, B and C together they fill the tank in 60 minutes. II) A and B together fill the tank in 12 minutes.
The following question, there are three statements I, II and III. Read the question carefully and mark your answer according to which statements(s) is/are sufficient to the answer the question. In how much time can pipe P alone fill the tank of capacity 150 litres which has a leak at the bottom? Statement I: Pipe Q alone can fill the tank in 75 minutes Statement II: The leak can empty half of the tank in 90 minutes Statement III: Both the pipes can fill the tank in 50 minutes
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

The question below is followed by three statements I, II, and III. You have to determine whether the data given is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose the best possible answer. A water tank is to be filled. Pipe A is opened for 10 minutes and then closed. After that pipe, B is opened and the remaining tank is filled by Pipe B alone. In how much time pipe B filled the remaining tank working alone? I. Pipe A and B together can fill a tank in 12 minutes. II. Pipe B, C, can fill a tank in 10 minutes. The ratio of their efficiency is 1 : 2 III. Pipe D and C can fill a tank in 12 minutes
Three pipes x, y and z can fill a tank A can fill it in 4 minutes. Two pipes p and q are connected to tank B. how much time does it take for both tanks to run at the full capacity? Ratio of time taken to fill tank A by P and time taken by x to fill tank A is 2: 1 and ratio of time taken by Q to fill tank B and Z to fill tank A is 5: 3. Pipe P is 20% more efficient then pipe Q. and pipe Y takes 12 minutes to fill the tank. Capacity of tank B is 3/4 times of tank A. Note: Tank B is to be filled only after filling tank A. Valves of pipe p and q are closed once tank B is running at full capacity.
Two pipes are connected to tank 1 and one pipe connects tank 1 and tank 2 at the bottom of both tanks. At first pipe A and pipe B will filling tank 1 and then pipe C would be opened to fill tank 2. Capacity of tank 1 is twice capacity of tank 2. Pipe C takes 8 minutes to fill the whole tank 2 wherein discharging capacity of pipe C is 62.5 liters per minute. Ratio of time taken by pipe A and B to fill the tank when operating alone is 4 : 5 then find approximate discharging capacity of pipe A and B in liters/ minute if both the pipes discharge equal amount of water in tank. Time taken by pipe A and B to fill the tank 1 is 20/ 3 minutes
The following questions are accompanied by three statements (I), (II), and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions. Pipe A and B can fill a tank at the rate of 12 and 10 litre per minute respectively. What is the capacity of the tank? I. Pipe C can empty tank in 5 hours. II. If A and B are opened simultaneously, the tank is filled in 5 hours 45 minutes and a leakage hole drains the pipe at the rate of 6 litres/minute.  III. If A and B are opened simultaneously, the tank is filled in 5 hours 45 minutes and due to a leakage, the filled tank drains in 15 hours 20 minutes.
