A tank is filled in 5 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is twice as fast as B and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?

a

35hr

b

30hr

c

28hr

d

26hr

e

None of these

Answer : Option A
Explanation :

C = 2B

B = 2A

A : B = 1 : 2

B : C = 1 : 2

Now, A : B : C

1: 2 : 4

A + B + C = 5h

7 = 5 h

1 = 35 hr

A = 35 hr
