A tank has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. If the outlet pipe is closed then the inlet pipe fills the empty tank in $8$ hours.

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
