Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10 hours
Given:
⇒ Pipe x's 1 hour's work = 1/15
⇒ Pipe y's 1 hour's work = 1/12
⇒ Pipe z's 1 hour's work = 1/20
Calculation:
⇒ Pipe (x + y + z)'s 1 hour's work = 1/15 + 1/12 - 1/20 = 1/10
∴ In 10 hours, hose will get completely filled if all three pipes are opened simultaneously.
