A rectangular tank measuring 60 cm by 50 cm by 25 cm was to be filled with water by two taps, A and B. Tap A which fills the tank at a rate of 8ℓ per minute was first turned on for 5 minutes before Tap B was turned on as well. If the tank was filled to the brim in a total of 7 minutes from the time when Tap A was first turned on, what is the rate at which Tap B fills the tank? Give the answer in ℓ per minute correct to 1 decimal place.
