A9 1/3 days
B10 days
C10 2/3 days
D11 1/3 days
Show answerHide answer

Q8From DSSSB TGT Computer Science Full Mock Test 1
Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 12 hours and 15 hours respectively, while pipe C can empty the full tank in 20 hours. If all three pipes are opened together, the tank will be filled in:
X and Y together can complete a work in 60 days. Y and Z together can complete the
same work in 90 days. If X, Y and Z all work together, then the same work gets
completed in 45 days. How many days will X and Z together take to complete the same
work?
A120 days
B90 days
C60 days
D150 days
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) 60 days
Explanation
X = (X+Y+Z) − (Y+Z) = 1/45 − 1/90 = 1/90; Z = 1/45 − 1/60 = 1/180. X + Z = 1/90 + 1/180 = 1/60, so 60 days.
