Two taps $A$ and $B$ can fill a water tank in $20$ $min$ and $24$ $min$ respectively,and a third tap $C$ empties the tank at a rate of $3$ $gallons$ per $min$. If all three taps $A$,$B$,and $C$ are opened together,the tank is filled in $15$ $min$. What is the capacity of the tank in $gallons$?

  • A
    $180$
  • B
    $150$
  • C
