rate of P = 1/45
rate of Q = 1/35
rate of R = -1/30
combined rate of P and Q = 1/45 + 1/35 = 16/315
part of cistern filled after 7 minutes = 7(16/315) = 16/45
At this point your question is incomplete.
Where does tap R enter the picture ?
Are all taps turned on at the same time?
Who knows ?
you decide and finish the problem.
