two pipes can fill the cistern in 10 hr and 12 hr respectively , while the third empty it in 50 hr . if all pipes are opened simultaneously , then the cistern will be filled in
solution : work done by all the tanks working together in 1 hour . 1 / 10 + 1 / 12 − 1 / 50 = 8 / 49 hence , tank will be filled in 49 / 8 = 6.12 hour option ( a )
inverse(subtract(add(divide(const_1, 10), divide(const_1, 12)), divide(const_1, 50)))
