(B) Let the total capacity of the cistern be $1$ unit.Combined efficiency of pipes $A, B,$ and $C$ is $(A+B+C) = \frac{1}{6}$ units/hr.In $2$ hours,the work done by $A, B,$ and $C$ is $2 	imes \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ units.Remaining work $= 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$ units.This remaining work is done by $A$ and $B$ in $8$ hours.So,the efficiency of $(A+B) = \frac{2/3}{8} = \frac{2}{24} = \frac{1}{12}$ units/hr.Now,the efficiency of pipe $C = (A+B+C) - (A+B) = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{2-1}{12} = \frac{1}{12}$ units/hr.Therefore,the time taken by pipe $C$ to fill the cistern alone is $\frac{1}{1/12} = 12$ $hrs$.

Three pipes $A, B$ and $C$ can fill a cistern in $6$ $hrs$. After working together for $2$ $hrs$,$C$ is closed and $A$ and $B$ fill the remaining part of the cistern in $8$ $hrs$. Find the time (in $hrs$) in which the cistern can be filled by pipe $C$ alone.

$A$ cistern has a leak which would empty it in $8$ $hours$. $A$ tap is turned on which admits $6$ $litres$ a minute into the cistern,and it is now emptied in $12$ $hours$. How many $litres$ does the cistern hold?

Pipe $A$ can fill a tank in $30$ minutes,while pipe $B$ can fill the same tank in $10$ minutes and pipe $C$ can empty the full tank in $40$ minutes. If all the pipes are opened together,how much time will be needed to make the tank full?

If three taps are opened together,a tank is filled in $12$ $hrs$. One of the taps can fill it in $10$ $hrs$ and another in $15$ $hrs$. How many $hours$ does the third tap take alone to empty it completely?
