A tank has a leak which would empty the completely filled tank in 10 h. If the tank is full of water and a tap is opened which admits 4 L of water per minute in the tank, the leak takes 15h to empty the tank. How many liters of water does the tank hold?
[SSC CGL 2007]
Explanation
Let the capacity of the tank be x L
As per the question,
Quantity of water emptied by the leak in 1 h
And to empty 4L in 1h
Quantity of water filled by the tap in 1 min = 4L
∴1h=4L
As per the question,
Hence option D is correct.
