Three pipes P, Q, and R are connected to tyre to fill it with air. They can fill the tyre in 18 minutes, 12 minutes, and 20 minutes. Also, a pipe S is connected, which can completely empty the tyre in 6 minutes. I. The Time taken by all four pipes to fill the tyre will be 45 minutes II. The time taken by pipes P, Q, and S to empty 50% of the tank will be 15 minutes III. If the efficiency of all the pipes gets half of their original units and the capacity of the tyre is increased by 20% then the time taken by all four pipes to fill the tyre completely. will be 1 hour and 48 minutes. pipeline-470045
