Answer:
24/7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Tap A can fill 1 tank in 8 hours
Tap A fills in 1 hour = 1/8 tank
Tap B can fill 1 tank in 4 hours.
Tap B fills in 1 hour= 1/4 tank
Tap C can empty 1 tank in 12 hours.
Tap C empties in 1 hour= 1/12 tank
Tank filled in 1 hour If all taps are opened together= 1/8+1/4-1/12
=>3+6-2/24
=>7/24
hours takenn to fill tank = 24/7 hours
