At their usual efficiency levels, $A$ and $B$ together finish a task in $12$ days. If $A$ had worked half as efficiently as she usually does, and $B$ had worked thrice as efficiently as he usually does, the task would have been completed in $9$ days. How many days would $A$ take to finish the task if she works alone at her usual efficiency?

A water tank has inlets of two types $A$ and $B$. All inlets of type $A$ when open, bring in water at the same rate. All inlets of type $B$, when open, bring in water at the same rate. The empty tank is completely filled in $30$ minutes if $10$ inlets of type $A$ and $45$ inlets of type $B$ are open, and in $1$ hour if $8$ inlets of type $A$ and $18$ inlets of type $B$ are open. In how many minutes will the empty tank get completely filled if $7$ inlets of type $A$ and $27$ inlets of type $B$ are open?

Amal and Vimal together can complete a task in 150 days, while Vimal and Sunil together can complete the same task in 100 days.
