Given,
A Pump can fill the tank in 4 hours
Tank leaks so, after leakage tank can be filled in 5 hours
Work done by the pump = 1/4
Let the time taken to empty the tank be x
Work done by leakage = 1/x
Both are worked together,
Here I used negative sign before 1/x because it indicates leakage.
It takes 20 hours to empty tank when it is full.
