Question:

Pipe A fills a tank in $12$ hours, pipe B in $18$ hours, and pipe C empties the full tank in $36$ hours. The tank is already one-third full and all three pipes are opened together. In how many hours will the tank be completely full? / पाइप A टंकी को $12$ घंटे में, B $18$ घंटे में भरता है और C भरी टंकी को $36$ घंटे में खाली करता है। टंकी पहले से एक-तिहाई भरी है और तीनों पाइप एक साथ खोले गए। टंकी कितने घंटे में पूरी भर जाएगी?

Correct Answer: $6$ hours

Net rate $= \frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{18}-\frac{1}{36} = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}$ of the tank per hour. The remaining $\frac{2}{3}$ of the tank needs $\frac{2/3}{1/9} = 6$ hours. / शुद्ध दर $1/9$ प्रति घंटा; शेष $2/3$ भाग के लिए $6$ घंटे चाहिए। Option (b) is the trap for those who fill the whole tank from empty ($\frac{1}{1/9} = 9$ h) and then round wrongly.
