Pipes $A$ and $C$ are fill pipes while Pipe $B$ is a drain pipe of a tank. Pipe $B$ empties the full tank in one hour less than the time taken by Pipe $A$ to fill the empty tank. When pipes $A$, $B$ and $C$ are turned on together, the empty tank is filled in two hours. If pipes $B$ and $C$ are turned on together when the tank is empty and Pipe $B$ is turned off after one hour, then Pipe $C$ takes another one hour and $15$ minutes to fill the remaining tank. If Pipe $A$ can fill the empty tank in less than five hours, then the time taken, in minutes, by Pipe $C$ to fill the empty tank is

Bob can finish a job in $40$ days, if he works alone. Alex is twice as fast as Bob and thrice as fast as Cole in the same job. Suppose Alex and Bob work together on the first day, Bob and Cole work together on the second day, Cole and Alex work together on the third day, and then, they continue the work by repeating this three- day roster, with Alex and Bob working together on the fourth day, and so on.
