you can not fill the tank while pipe c is still opened.. a & b is for storage and pipe C is for draining..
The part of tank filled by Pipe A in 1 min = 1/20
The part of tank filled by Pipe B in 1 min = 1/30
The part of tank emptied by Pipe C in 1 min = 1/15
The part of tank filled in 1 min is 1/20 + 1/30 - 1/15 = 1/60
The total time taken to fill the tank is 60 min = 1 hr.
