A tank is filled by two pipes in 17 min and 21 min respectively, and drained by a third pipe in 33 min. How long to fill the tank if all operate together?
Answer:
13.13
Step-by-step solution: 1. Filling rates: 1/17 + 1/21. 2. Draining rate: 1/33. 3. Net rate = 1/17 + 1/21 - 1/33 = 0.0761 tank/min. 4. Time = 1 / net rate = 13.13 minutes.

A tank is filled by two pipes in 20 min and 20 min respectively, and drained by a third pipe in 30 min. How long to fill the tank if all operate together?
Answer:
15.0
Step-by-step solution: 1. Filling rates: 1/20 + 1/20. 2. Draining rate: 1/30. 3. Net rate = 1/20 + 1/20 - 1/30 = 0.0667 tank/min. 4. Time = 1 / net rate = 15.0 minutes.
