Directions: Read the data given below carefully and answer the question. The data shows the volume and dimensions (length, breadth, and height) of four cuboidal tanks: A, B, C, and D. The data also depicts the time taken to fill or empty the tanks by inlet pipes X, Y, and the outlet pipe Z. 1. The breadth of tank D is 14 m. Tank Data: Tank Volume (m³) Dimensions: L × B × H (m) Time taken by pipe X to fill (hours) Ratio of time taken by pipe Y to fill and pipe Z to empty A 3,600 20 × 15 × ---- 10 2 : 3 B ----- 25 × 12 × 12 3 : 2 C 4,500 ---- × 6 × 15 18 1 : 4 D 16,800 14 × ---- × ---- ----- 3 : 5

In tank C, pipe X was opened for 9 hours and then closed. Pipes Y and Z were opened together for 2 hours and then both pipes were closed. After a total of 11 hours, approximately what volume of the tank remained empty (in cubic metres), considering that if both pipes X and Z were opened together, the tank would always be empty?

  1. 810 m3

  2. 750 m3

  3. 720 m3

  4. 680 m3
