Answer: 72 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Pipe A can empty the water in 180 minutes = (180/60) =3 hours

Pipe A does 1/ 3 of the job in 1 hour.

Pipe B can empty the water in 120 minutes = (120/60) = 2 hours.

Pipe B does 1/ 2 of thejob in 1 hour.

Together they will do:

1/ 3 + 1/ 2 = 5/6

Together, both pipes will do 5/ 6 of the job in one hour.

To get the total time to completely drain the water will be:

= 60 ÷ 5/6

= 60 × 6/5

= 12 × 6

= 72 minutes

It takes 72 minutes to empty the pool.
