Correct answer: (A) 7.5 hours
In 5 hours, A and B together fill 5×(1/12+1/15) = 5×9/60 = 3/4 of the tank, leaving 1/4. With C also open, the combined rate is 1/12+1/15−1/20 = 1/10 per hour, so the remaining 1/4 takes 2.5 hours. Total time = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 hours.

सही उत्तर: (A) 7.5 घंटे
5 घंटों में, A और B मिलकर टंकी का 5×(1/12+1/15) = 3/4 भाग भरते हैं, शेष 1/4 भाग बचता है। C के खुलने पर संयुक्त दर 1/12+1/15−1/20 = 1/10 प्रति घंटा है, इसलिए शेष 1/4 भाग भरने में 2.5 घंटे लगते हैं। कुल समय = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 घंटे होगा।
