Q. 3.  A tank of capacity 1000 cubic centimeter is being filled with water by 3 pipes A, B and C. The areas of cross-section of the pipes A, B and C are in the ratio 3: 2: 4. Water is flowing through each of these pipes at a different rate (in cm/min). It was found that the time taken to fill the tank, which was initially empty, by the pipes A, B and C individually is 20 min, 50 min and 25 min respectively.  Find the approximate time taken to fill an empty tank when all the three pipes are opened simultaneously?

10% of salty sea water contained in a flask was poured out into a beaker. After this, a part of the water contained in the beaker was vapourised by heating and due to this, the percentage of salt in the beaker increased M times. If it is know that after the content of the beaker was poured into the flask, the percentage of salt in the flask increased by x%, find the original quantity of sea water in the flask.
