Q:

Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed and A and B can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is:

A) 10 B) 12
C) 14 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 14

Explanation:

Part filled in 2 hours = 2/6=1/3

 

Remaining part =1-13=23

 

 (A + B)'s 7 hour's work = 2/3

 

(A + B)'s 1 hour's work = 2/21

 

C's 1 hour's work = { (A + B + C)'s 1 hour's work } - { (A + B)'s 1 hour's work }

 

=1/6-2/21 = 1/14

 

C alone can fill the tank in 14 hours.
