A) No profit, no loss B) 5%

A pump can fill a tank with water in 2 hours. Because of a leak, it took 213 hours to fill the tank. The leak can drain all the water of the tank in:

A) 7 hours B) 8 hours
C) 12 hours D) 14 hours
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14 hours

Explanation:

If the total area of pump=1 part

The pumop take 2 hrs to fill 1 part 

The pumop take1 hour to fill 1/2 portion 

 

Due to lickage  

The pumop take 7/3 hrs to fill 1 part 

The pumop take1 hour to fill 3/7 portion 

Now the difference of area = (1/2-3/7)=1/14 

 

This 1/14 part of water drains in 1 hour 

Total area=1 part of water drains in (1x14/1)hours= 14 hours 

 

So the leak can drain all the water of the tank in 14 hours. 

Leak will empty the tank in 14 hrs
