If both the pipes are opened, how many hours will be taken to fill the tank?
I.The capacity of the tank is 400 litres.
II.The pipe A fills the tank in 4 hours.
III.The pipe B fills the tank in 6 hours.

A. Only I and II
B. Only II and III
C. All I, II and III
D. Any two of the three
E. Even with all the three statements, answer cannot be given.

• B is the correct answer
  The pipe A fills the tank in 4 hours and the pipe B fills the tank in 6 hours.
  so total tank filled in 1 hour by using two = 1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12
  so time required to fill the tank = 12/5 hours
