In what time would a cistern be filled by three pipes whose diameters are $1 \text{ cm}$,$1 \frac{1}{3} \text{ cm}$,and $2 \text{ cm}$,running together,when the largest alone will fill it in $61 \text{ minutes}$,the amount of water flowing in by each pipe being proportional to the square of its diameter? (in $\text{minutes}$)

$A$ cistern is filled by two taps $A$ and $B$. Tap $A$ can fill it in $20$ $minutes$ and tap $B$ in $25$ $minutes$. Both the taps are kept open for $5$ $minutes$ and then the second tap $(B)$ is turned off. The cistern will be completely filled in another:

$A$ water tank is $\frac{2}{3}$ full. Pipe $A$ can fill the tank in $10$ $minutes$ and pipe $B$ can empty it in $6$ $minutes$. If both the pipes are open,how long will it take to empty the tank completely?

Taps $A, B$ and $C$ are attached to a tank. The rates of water flow through them are $42 \ L/h$,$56 \ L/h$,and $48 \ L/h$ respectively. $A$ and $B$ are inlet taps,while $C$ is an outlet tap. If all the taps are opened simultaneously,the tank is filled in $16 \ h$. What is the capacity of the tank (in $L$)?
