Pipe A can fill a tank in 20 h while pipe B can fill it in 10 h and pipe C can empty the full tank in 30 h. If all the pipes are opened together, how much time will be needed to make the tank full?

Result

t = 8:34 h Wrong answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a=20 h b=10 h c=30 h  z=a1+b1c1=201+101301=603+606602=603+62=6070.1167 1/h  t=1/z=1/0.1167=8.57143=8:34 h
