Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 180 minutes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Combined rate \( = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{30} = \frac{6+5-1}{30} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3} \) tank/hour. Time to fill \( = \frac{1}{1/3} = 3 \) hours. Time in minutes \( = 3 \times 60 = 180 \) minutes.
