Answer:
Required time taken = 36 min
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken to fill the tank by the tap having 2 cm diameter = 61 min
∴ Time taken to fill the tank by the tap having 1 cm diameter
= 61 x (2/1)² = 244 min
Similarly, time taken to fill the tank by the tap having 4/3 cm diameter
= 61 x [(2 x 3)/4]² = 61 x 9/4 = 549/4 min.
∴ Part of the tank filled by all the three pipes in 1 min
= 1/61 + 1/244 + 1/(549/4)
= (36 + 9 + 16)/2196 = 61/2196 = 1/36
Hence, required time taken = 36 min
