Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120

For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120

So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120

Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.

18 tens 20 ones, the given stateent can be split into

18 tens = 18 x 10 = 180

20 ones = 20 x 1 = 20

Then add both => 180 + 20 = 200

Hence, 18 tens 20 ones = 200.

It is given train X leave station A at 6:30 am, here it is asked to calculate the distance from A when the trains meet, the
Distance traveled by train left at 6:30 am upto 7:40 am i.e. in 1 hr. 10 min. or 7/6 hours = 30 x 7/6 = 35 km
So train leaving at 7:40 am will meet first train after covering a distance of 35 km. with relative speed of 40-30=10 km/hr.
Hence time taken = 35/10 = 3.5 hours or 3 hours 30 minutes
So distance from A = Distance traveled by 2nd train in 3 hr. 30 min
= 40 x 3.5 = 140 km.

0.127 expressed as a fraction = 127/1000

1/8 can also be expressed as (1 x 125) / (8 x 125) = 125/1000
