    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that The capacity of the tank be = 60 units So, Part of the tank filled by P in 1 minute is = 3 units  So, Part of the tank filled by Q in 1 minute = 2 units  Therefore, Part of the tank emptied by R in 1 minute = 1 unit  So, Part of the tank filled by P, Q and R in 1 minute = 4 units Hence, the Required time  will be = [(¾)  x  60  x (¼)] = 11.25 minutes
