Step-by-step explanation:

Let the drain pipe takes E minutes to empty the tank. Now 1/60 + 1/30 – 1/E = -1/60. The value on the Right Hand Side would be negative because full tank has been emptied. Solving this we get E = 15. If the drain pipe can empty a tank in 15 minutes and its drainage rate is 24 litres per minute, the capacity will be 15 x 24 = 360 litres.
