The Municipal Corporation’s water pipeline being very old, has seepage problem which is obviously more in summer. In winter, when the seepage each day is 4% of the day’s supply a tank, full of water, lasts for 16 days. In summer when the seepage each day is 10% of the day’s supply, for how many days does a tankful of water lasts?

• 32/5 days i.e 6.4 days.
  
  4:10 :: x(days):16
  x=(4*16)/10= 6.4

• each day there is 4% seepage.Hence for 16 days there will be 64%.
  number of days for 10% seepage is equal to 64/10=6.4 that's all.
