Answer Posted / mohit
suppose the capacity of cistern is 30unit. when it id repaired
then takes 3 hrs.thus water coming in i hrs=10unit.
now leak tank takes 3 hrs and 1/2 hrs extra. that is, in
general think that the water filling in 1/2 hrs is equal to
the leakage of hole in 3.5 hrs.
leakage in 3.5 hrs is =10/2=5 unit
so 5 unit is leakad in =3.5 hrs
so 30unit(full capacity) is leaked in =3.5*30/5
=21 hrs
so it will take 21 hrs to empty the full cistern.
