Machine X takes 5 minutes to cut 85 pieces of lumbers.
Machine Y takes 15 minutes to cut 120 pieces of lumbers. Machine Z takes 10 minutes to cut 120 pieces of lumber.
Which is the faster combination, X and Y or Y and Z? (Eg A, B)

Level 3
Beryl has 2 containers. A and B of different capacities. If Container A is filled by a tap at a rate of 3 litres per minute and Container B is filled by a tap at a rate of 5 litres per minute, when Container A is completely filled, 5 litres of water flowed out from Container B. If Container A is filled by a tap at a rate of 4 litres per minute and Container B is filled by a tap at a rate of 3 litres per minute, when Container A is completely filled, Container B is only half-filled. What is the capacity of Container B?

The figure shows a rectangular tank measuring 30 cm by 15 cm by 20 cm. Vera poured 558 mℓ of water into the tank. Then she turned on two taps at the same time to fill up Tank with water. Water was flowing from both taps at the same rate. After 5 minutes, both taps were turned off but 1.2ℓ of water had overflowed and was collected in a tray. Find the rate of the flow of water of each tap in millimetres per minute.
