[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.

=\frac{^{6}_{C_{3}}\times ^{5}_{C_{2}}}{^{11}_{C_{5}}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}\times \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}}{\frac{11!}{5!(11-5)!}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{6!}{3! \times 3!}\times \frac{5!}{2! \times 3!}}{\frac{11!}{5! \times 6!}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3!}{3 \times 2  \times 1\times 3!}\times \frac{5  \times 4  \times 3!}{2 \times 1 \times 3!}}{\frac{11  \times10  \times 9  \times 8 \times 7  \times 6! }{5 \times 4 \times 3  \times 2  \times 1 \times 6!}}\\\\

=\frac{ (5 \times 4) \times(5  \times 2)}{(11  \times 3  \times 2 \times 7 )}\\\\=\frac{ 20 \times 10 }{(11 \times 42)}\\\\=\frac{ 200 }{462}\\\\=\frac{100 }{231}\\\\=0.4329
