Answer:
The amount of water in tank = 500 L
Rate of speed of leaking water = 5L/min
(a) What you have to do is check how many times 5L is 500L,
that means, 500/5 = 100
That means, it is going to take 100 minutes, 1 hour 40 minutes for the tank to be empty.
(b) Here, rate of speed of leak = 10L/5 min = 2L/min
Same concept here too, divide 500 by 2 = 500/2 = 250
Therefore in second case it takes 250 minutes, that is 4 hours and 10 minutes for it to leak out completely.
Hope it helps,
