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?

• 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

• A tank has a leak which would empty the completely filled tank in 10 hours. lf the tank is full of water and a tap is opened which admits 4 litres of water per minute in the tank, the leak takes 15 hours to empty the tank. How many litres of water does the tank hold?
