A water tank in a village is normally filled in 8 hours but takes 2 hours longer to fill because of a leak in its bottom. If the tank is full, in how many hrs will the leak empty it ?

Correct Answer: 40 hrs

Explanation:

The time taken by the leak to empty the tank =  1 8   -   1 10   =   5   -   4 40   =   1 40


Therefore, the leak empties the tank in 40 hours.
