SSC CGL 12 Sep 2025 S1 Q70

Question 70:

Three pumps, A, B, and C are capable of filling a reservoir. A fills in 5 hours, B in 7 hours, and C in 10 hours. When all three pumps are opened together, they operate for 1.5 hours before pump C is closed. How much additional time will it take to completely fill the reservoir after that?

तीन पंप, ए, बी और सी एक जलाशय को भरने में सक्षम हैं। A 5 घंटे में, B 7 घंटे में और C 10 घंटे में भर जाता है। जब तीनों पंप एक साथ खोले जाते हैं, तो पंप C बंद होने से पहले वे 1.5 घंटे तक चलते हैं। उसके बाद जलाशय को पूरा भरने में कितना अतिरिक्त समय लगेगा?

Options:

  • a) 1/2 hours
  • b) 43/25 hours
  • c) 47/48 hours
  • d) 45/41 hours
  • a) 1/2 घंटे
  • b) 43/25 घंटे
  • c) 47/48 घंटे
  • d) 45/41 घंटे

correct answer : c)

Explanation:

Rates: A=1/5, B=1/7, C=1/10. Together = 1/5+1/7+1/10 = (14+10+7)/70 = 31/70. In 1.5 hours = (31/70)*1.5 = 46.5/70 = 93/140. Remaining = 47/140. A+B filling rate = 1/5+1/7 = 12/35. Additional time = (47/140) / (12/35) = (47/140) * (35/12) = 47/48 hours.

दरें: ए=1/5, बी=1/7, सी=1/10। एक साथ = 1/5+1/7+1/10 = (14+10+7)/70 = 31/70। 1.5 घंटे में = (31/70)*1.5 = 46.5/70 = 93/140। शेष = 47/140. ए+बी भरने की दर = 1/5+1/7 = 12/35। अतिरिक्त समय = (47/140) / (12/35) = (47/140) * (35/12) = 47/48 घंटे।
