There are three pipes, A, B and C, opening into a tank. Each pipe can be used to fill or empty the tank at the same respective rate. The ratio of the rates of the three pipes at which they either fill or empty the tank is 2 : 3 : 4. Pipes A and B, working together, take 3 hours to fill the tank when both are used as inlet pipes. In the first, second and third hours of operation, the pipes, A, B and C respectively are used as emptying pipes, while the other two pipes are used as filling pipes. What is the fraction of the tank to be filled at the end of the three hours ?
3/5 ??

Edit : Left to be filled = 2/5 = 40%

I just assumed A, B and C to be doing 2, 3, 4 units of work per hour. Now A and B together will do 2+3 = 5 units per hour, so if they take 3 hours, total work must be 15 units.

Now in the three hours each tap is filling for 2 and emptying for 1 so effectively equivalent to filling for one hour....so total work done = 2+3+4 = 9 out of 15 = 3/5 or 60%

Edit: So "left to be filled" is 2/5 or 40%

almost 40%

Ans should be 40% na? Ek mistake kardi th
Let A = 2a litres/hour
B = 3a
C = 4a

A+B = 5a
Total Volume = 5a*3 = 15a

Now, 1st huor = 7a - 2a = 5a
2nd hour = 6a-3a = 3a
3rd hour = 5a - 4a = a

So after 3 hours filled up = 9a

left = 6a

Hence fraction = 6/15 = 2/5

Ah yes, to be filled :splat: Will edit...

if the denominator can be same then -> 1/10 + 1/10 +... + 1/10 = 1 (10 such fractions)

if the denominator cannot be same then -> 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 1 (3 such fractions)

it has asked diff. fractions..

Symmetry lagao.. ( aur thodi trigo ) Connect the centres of inner circles you will find that it makes an equilateral traingle!So Radius of bigger circle will come out to be (1+2/root(3))hence Area = pie/3 * (2 + root(3) )^2
thoda explain kijiye..m gettin radius as rt3+1/rt3

ahh right...so 1/2+1/3+1/6 hona chahiye...

1 digit = 9
2 digit = 180
3 digit = 2700
total = 2889
we need to go 7 digits back..
7998999

so 7

1 digit = 92 digit = 1803 digit = 2700 total = 2889 we need to go 7 digits back..7998999so 7
xplain maro..main confusa gaya hun thoda..
