It is given that, if two pipes of radii r1 and r2 can fill an empty tank in t1 minutes and t2 minutes respectively and the speed of the flow is same in both the pipes then t1r12 = t2r22. There are three taps of diameters 1 cm, \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) cm, and 2 cm respectively. The speed of the water flow through them is same. The widest tap can fill an empty tank in 45 minutes. If all the taps are opened simultaneously, then in how many hours the empty tank will be filled?

- COption (c)
25
- DOption (d)
