Answer 1

Answer:

2160

Step-by-step explanation:

given  

Inlet pipe of a tank is pouring water at 6 litres per minute while a leakage is taking out water so that it could

empty tank in 4 hours. With both points open tank gets filled in 12 hours. Find the capacity of the tank.

Now inlet in one minute will be 1/4 – 1/12

                                               = 3 – 1 / 12

                                                = 1/6

Now inlet in 1 minute will be 1/6 x 1/60  

                                                = 1/360

In 1 min it will be 1/360

So 6 litres per min

So volume of whole will be 360 x 6 = 2160 litres.
