To find : How long does it take to fill the pool with all three hoses at same time
Solution:
3 hours ( 180 mins) to fill the pool with the red hose.
=> Red hose fill in 1 min = 1/180
45 minutes to fill it with the red and blue hoses
=> Red hose and blue Hose fill in 1 min = 1/45
90 minutes to fill it with red and green
=> Red Hose & Green Hose fill in 1 min= 1/90
Red Hose , Green hose & Blue hose in 1 Min =
Red Hose & Green Hose + Red hose and blue Hose - Red hose in 1 min
= 1/45 + 1/90 - 1/180
= ( 4 + 2 - 1)/180
= 5/180
= 1/36
Red Hose , Green hose & Blue hose in 1 Min = 1/36
=> Red Hose , Green hose & Blue hose will fill in 36 Minutes
