Time taken to fill = 10 hrs.(Convert hrs into minutes = = = = =10 * 60 = 600)
adding water each time == 4lts.
How many ltrs to fill the tank = L ?
Formula = liters/minutes = adding water in each time
====== L/600=4
L = 4*600
L = 2400. This is the Answer.

Let L be capacity of tank then rate of leakage will be L/600 litres per minute.
as water level is constant now leakage rate=admission rate so,
L/600=4
solving above equation L=4*600=2400 litres
