$A$ water tank has two pipes. The empty tank is filled in $12$ $min$ by the $1$st pipe and the full tank is emptied by the $2$nd pipe in $20$ $min$. What is the time required to fill the $1/2$ full tank when both pipes are in action (in $min$)?

Two taps can separately fill a cistern in $10$ $minutes$ and $15$ $minutes$ respectively. When the waste pipe is open,they can together fill it in $18$ $minutes$. The waste pipe can empty the full cistern in:

Three taps $A, B$ and $C$ fill a tank in $20$ min,$15$ min and $12$ min,respectively. If all the taps are opened simultaneously,how long will they take to fill $40 \%$ of the tank (in $min$)?

$A$ booster pump can be used for filling as well as for emptying a tank. The capacity of the tank is $2400 m^3$. The emptying capacity of the tank is $10 m^3/min$ higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs $8$ minutes less to empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What is the filling capacity of the pump?

One tap can fill a cistern in $2$ hours and another can empty the cistern in $3$ hours. How long will it take to fill the cistern if both the taps are opened (in $\text{hours}$)?

Three taps $P, Q$ and $R$ separately can fill a tank completely in $4, 8$ and $12$ hours respectively. Another tap $S$ can empty the filled tank in $10$ hours. Which of the following combinations will fill the empty tank in the least amount of time?
