A tyre has 3 punctures. The first puncture alone would have made the tyre flat in 9 minutes, the second alone would have done it in 18 minutes, the third alone would have done it in 6 minutes. If the air leaks out at a constant rate, then how long (in minutes) does it take for all the punctures together to make it flat?

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D

Solution:

$$\therefore \frac{18}{2+1+3}=3\text{ minutes}$$
