Two rectangular tanks are shown. At first, Tank X was empty and one quarter of Tank Y was filled with water. Both taps were turned on at the same time and water from both taps flowed at the same rate of 1.6 litres per minute. How much time will it take for the height of the water to be the same in both tanks? (1 litre = 1000 cm3 )

At first, 18 of a tank was filled with water. A tap was turned on for 30 min for more water to flow into the tank. It was then turned off. The line graph shows the volume of water in the tank over the 30 min.
  1. How many litres of water flowed into the tank in one minute?
  2. At the end of 30 min, what fraction of the tank was filled with water?
  3. The tap was turned on again to fill up the tank at the same rate as before. How many more minutes did it take for the tank to be filled completely?

The figure, not drawn to scale, shows an empty tank measuring 20 cm by 15 cm by 15 cm. Water flows from Tap A at a rate of 300 mℓ per minute and from Tap B at a rate of 180 mℓ per minute. Tower X and Tower Y have a base area of 20 cm2 and 30 cm2 respectively. Water is drained out of the container at a rate of 130 mℓ per minute. Find the height of the water level after 13 minutes.

A rectangular tank measuring 120 cm by 50 cm by 100 cm is 50% filled with water. 10 identical pails of water that are completely filled are then scooped out from it. The water level drops to 45 cm. The remaining amount of water in the tank is later poured into a container that contains 40 litres of water. The water is then drained out through a tap found at the bottom of the container at 10 litres per minute.
  1. What is the capacity of each pail?
  2. How long did it take to drain the water from the container completely? Answer in terms of minutes.

The figure shows taps A and B and an empty tank. At 2 p.m., tap A was turned on. Water flowed into the tank from tap A at a rate of 3.8 litres per minute. After 5 minutes, tap B was turned on. At 2.15 p.m., the tank was half filled with water.
  1. How many litres of water flowed out of tap B in 1 minute?
  2. At 2.30 p.m., what fraction of the tank was filled with water?

Copier A prints at a rate of 105 leaflets in every 3 minutes and Copier B prints at a rate of 136 leaflets in every 4 minutes. At 2 p.m., both copiers started printing. After a while, Copier A stopped printing for some time as the ink cartridges were being changed before it continued to print again. Copier B continued printing during this time. At 4 p.m., the total number of leaflets printed during the past two hours was 7930. Express the number of leaflets printed by Copier A as a percentage of the total number of leaflets printed by both copiers. Round off the answer to 2 decimal places.

Water flows into a tank through Tap A and flows out of the container through Tap B. The capacity of a tank is 40 litres. When only Tap A is turned on, the container is completely filled in 16 minutes. When only Tap B is turned on, it takes 13 hour for all the water to flow out. If both taps are turned on at the same time,
  1. How long does it take to fill 40% of the tank?
  2. How much water has flowed out through Tap B by the time the tank is 35 filled with water?

To fill a tank measuring 50 cm by 20 cm by 40 cm completely, it takes Tap A 4 minutes while it takes Tap B only 12 minutes. How long will it take to completely fill the container with water if both the taps are turned on at the same time and 8 cubic containers of edges 10 cm, filled to the brim with water are poured into the tank?

The figure shows 2 tanks, Tank X and Tank Y. Tank X is completely empty while Tank Y is filled with water to the brim. Water from Tap A flows in at a rate of 1.2 litres per minute while water drains from Tap B at a rate of 0.72 litres per minute. Both taps are turned on at the same time. After some time, the heights of the water level in both tanks became the same.
  1. Find the time taken for the heights of the water level to be the same in both tanks.
  2. Find the height of the water level at that point of time.
