Since a bucket holds 5 litres of water, Tap A discharges 20 litres of water in 24 minutes or 5/6 litres of water in 1 minute. Tap B discharges 40 litres in 1 hours or 2/3 litres in 1 minute. Tap C discharges 10 litres in 20 minutes or 1/2 litres in 1 minute. If A, B & C are all opened simultaneously, total discharge = (5/6 + 2/3 + 1/2) = 2 litres in 1 minute. So in 2 hours after all taps are opened, the discharge would be 240 litres, which should be the capacity of the tank. read less
