Question

A tank has a leak which would empty the completely filled tank in 10 hours. if the tank is full of water and a tap is opened which admits 4 litres of water per minutes in the tank, how many litres does the tank holds?

Answer 1

Leak emptied the tank per minute = 100/10 = 10% of water per hour;

Quantity of water emptied per hour = 4*60 = 240;

Thus, 10% = 240 liter;

Hence, capacity of water,

100% = 240*100/10 = 2400 liter.
