A leak in the bottom of a tank can empty the full tank in 6 hours. An inlet pipe fills water at the rate of 4 liters a minute. When the tank is full, the inlet is opened and due to the leak, the tank is empty in 24 hours. How many liters does the cistern hold?
Answer:
in one hour the tank is full by = 1/6 - 1/24 = 3/24 = 1/8
So, the tank will get filled in 8 hours= 480 mins
so, water holding = 480 mins x 4 litres / min = 1920 litres
Answer:
in one hour the tank is full by = 1/6 - 1/24 = 3/24 = 1/8
So, the tank will get filled in 8 hours= 480 mins
so, water holding = 480 mins x 4 litres / min = 1920 litres
