[NOTE: NO OPTION MATCHES THE ANSWER because values provided are wrong but I have solved the qyestion with the given values for your understanding, If B and C will take 1/2 hours then the answer will be 1 that is Option E]

Answer:

Pumps A and B,

A + B = 5/6

Pumps A and C,

A + C = 3/2

Pumps B and C,

B + C = 2

Now we have to find

A + B + C = ?

For this we will add all of the above equations from both sides.

A+B + A+C +B+C = 5/6 + 3/2 + 2

Taking LCM on R.H.S,

2A + 2B + 2C = (5+9+12)/6

2(A+B+C) = 26/6

2(A+B+C)= 13/3

A+B+C = 13/6

It will take 13/6 hours if A,B and C are pumped simultaneously.

Figure B: a reflection across the y-axisFigure a 180° rotation around the origin
strojnjashka [21]
Since I can't see the figure on the coordinate plane, I can't give you exact coordinates for you to plot to get Figure B or Figure C. But I can tell you the transformation rules for reflection across the y-axis and the 180 rotation around the origin. 

Rule for reflection across y-axis
(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, y)
For example: Point B in a sample figure has the coordinate point of (1,2) would have a point of (-1, 2) when reflected across  the y-axis. 

Rule for rotating 180 degrees 
(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)
For example: Point C in a sample figure has the coordinate point of (3, 4) would have a point of (-3, -4) when rotating 180 degrees around the origin.
