This seems too easy, maybe I'm missing something?
But if the smaller pipe fills the tank in 2 hours, adding a
2nd larger pipe will only reduce that time, so right off
the start, we know that the answer is less than 2 hours
(120 min).
The answer I got is 1.2 hours (aka 1hr 12min, aka 72 min)

1/180+1/120 => 120 + 180 /120*180 => 300/21600 => 3/216 => 1/72
it will take 72 mins

Answer / vivek yadav
part filled by first pipe in 1 hour=1/3
part filled by second pipe in 1 hour=1/2.
part filled by both pipe=(1/3 + 1/2) =5/6
hence both the tank wil fill the tank in 6/5 hours i.e in
1.2 hours or 72 min

Answer / suresh
let the time be t
let the completed job=1
pipe1 be the pipe fills in 3hours and pipe2 be the pipe tat
fills in 2hours.
pipe1+pipe2=full tank
(t/3)+(t/2)=1
multiply by 60 to clear the denominators
60*(t/3)+60*(t/2)=60(1)
20t+30t=60
50t=60
t=60/50=1.2hours
the time taken to fill is 1.2hours

Answer / chirag shettigar
answer is simple & logical :
3hr-2hr= 1hr that means the difference between them is 1 hr
that means the tank will get full 1hr earlier than the tank
to fill in 2 hr pipe
so the tank will get full in 1 hr if both pipes are used

100 Gold Coins Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain. What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
