Full tank capacity = C litres.
Filling rate of pump = C/2 litres/hour
Filling rate of pump + leak together = C / (2+1/3) = 3 C/7 litres/hour
Leakage through the leaks = C/2 - 3 C/7 = C /14 litres / hour
Time to empty the full tank through the leaks = C / (C/14) = 14 hours
Filling rate of pump = C/2 litres/hour
Filling rate of pump + leak together = C / (2+1/3) = 3 C/7 litres/hour
