Answer / guest
The tank will be full in 16 minutes.
In one minute,
pipe A can fill 1/30 part of the tank.
pipe B can fill 1/24 part of the tank.
pipe C can empty 1/80 part of the tank.
Thus, the net water level in one minute is
= 1/30 + 1/24 - 1/80
= 15/240 part of the tank
Hence, the tank will be full in 240/15 i.e. 16 minutes.

Answer / mithilesh.patidar
obviasly 16 minutes.............b'cas
in 1 minute a can fill the tank=1/30
in 1 minute b can fill the tank=1/24
then both fill the tank in 1 minute=1/30+1/24
=54/30*24
=3/40
c can empty the tank in 1 minute=1/80
then pipe will fill in=3/40-1/80
=1/16
hence
for fill the full tank it takes 16 minutes....
