The figure is not drawn to scale. It shows a tank made from two connected cubical containers, Cube A and Cube B. The tank is filled with some water. Cube A is 34 filled with 6000 mℓ of water while Cube B is completely filled with water. The height of the water level in Cube A is 4 cm higher than that in Cube B. Water is then drained from the tank and the height of the new water level is 5 cm. What is the volume of the water drained in mℓ?
