Answer:

480 Litre

Step-by-step explanation:

Three taps p, q and r filled in a water tank to draw out water.tap p fills 4 buckets in 24 min, q fills 8 buckets in 1 hour, r fills 2 buckets in 20 min.all the taps are opened and the tank is emplted in 2 hours.if a bucket holds 10 liters of water. what is the capacity of tank

.tap p fills 4 buckets in 24 min

=> tap p fills 4/24 buckets in 1 min

=>  tap p fills 4/24 *60  = 10 buckets in 1 hr

Tap q fills 8 buckets in 1 hour

Tap r fills 2 buckets in 20 min

=> Tap r fills 6 buckets in 1 hour

p + q + r together fill in 1hr = 10 + 8 + 6 = 24 Buckets

=> p + q + r together fill in 2hr  = 2 * 24 = 48 buckets

a bucket holds 10 liters of water

Capacity of Tank = 48 * 10 = 480 Litre
