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.

Two pipes $A$ and $B$ are attached to an empty water tank. Pipe $A$ fills the tank while pipe $B$ drains it. If pipe $A$ is opened at $2$ pm and pipe $B$ is opened at $3$ pm , then the tank becomes full at $10 \mathrm{pm}$. Instead, if pipe $A$ is opened at $2 \mathrm{pm}$ and pipe $B$ is opened at $4 \mathrm{pm}$, then the tank becomes full at $6 \mathrm{pm}$. If pipe $B$ is not opened at all, then the time, in minutes, taken to fill the tank is
