Ans.1By first pipe in x hours=1pool is filledBy 1st pipe in 1 hour=1/x pool is filledBy 2nd pipe in y hours = 1 poolBy 2nd pipe in 1 hour=1/y poolBy 3rd pipe in z hours=1poolBy 3rd pipe in 1 hour = 1/z pool1 hour work of 1st and 2nd=1/x+1/yA.T.S1/x+1/y=1/z (1)Also given y=x-5 (2)And y=z+4Or,z=y-4Z=(x-5)-4Z=x-9 (3)Put the value of y and z from eq(2) and eq(3) in eq(1)1/x+1/x-5=1/x-9X-5+x/x*2-5x=1/x-9(2x-5)(x-9)=x*2-5xX*2-18x+45=0x*2-15x-3x+45=0x(x-15)-3(x-15)=0(x-15)(x-3)=0(x-15)=0. Or. (X-3)=0X=15. X=3. It is not possible As if we take x=3 Time comes in -ve.Therefore x=15 hoursY=x-5=15-5=10 hoursZ=y-4=10-4=6 hours
