A pipe can fill a tank in 120 hours. Due to the leak in its bottom, the tank is filled in 150 hours. If the tank is full, then that leak can empty the tank in howmany hours?
A pipe can fill the tank in = 120 hours
∴ In 1 hour pipe can fill = 1/120
Tank is actually filled in = 150 hours
∴ In 1 hour tank actually fills = 1/150
∴ In 1 hour the leak empties,
$( \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{120}} - \frac{1}{{150}})$
$( \Rightarrow \frac{{5 - 4}}{{600}})$
⇒ 1/600
∴ The leak can empty the whole tank in = 600 hours
