Take LCM of 15 and 20 and get the total capacity of tank as 60 .
Then A will fill 4li in 1 min and B will fill 3 li in 1 min so total will be 7 . A left after 4 min so they worked together for 4 min so 7*4= 28 . now subtract it from 60.(60-38=32). This will be filled by b so time taken would be..10 min 20 sec.
