There are three drains in a 6-metre-deep reservoir of water. To lower the water level by 2 metres it takes drain A 2 hours, drain B 3 hours, and drain C 4 hours. If all three drains are opened at once, how long will it take to empty the reservoir?

im going to say A too...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Drain A does 2 meters/2 hours so 1 meter/hour Drain B does 2 meters/3 hours so 2/3 meters/hour Drain C does 2 meters/4 hours so 1/2 meter/hour So all together, they do 13/6 meters of water in an hour. 6/(13/6)=2.76923077 hours
