The figure, not drawn to scale, shows an empty water container made out of 2 different solid shapes. The total height of the figure is 24 cm. The bottom part of the figure is formed by a 12-cm cube. The top part of the figure is formed by a cuboid with the corners of its square base touching the midpoints of the edges of the cube. The figure on the right shows the view of the solid from the top. 2 litres of water is poured into the empty water container. Find the height of the water level from the base of the water container.

Container A and B are identical containers with the same base area and height. Container A is filled to the brim with water while Container B is empty. After 240 cm3 of water is poured into Container B from Container A, the depth of water in Container B is 14 the depth of water in Container A. If the height of the container is 25 cm, what is the base area of Container B?

The figure shows 2 completely filled tanks being emptied of the water from 2 different taps. The difference in height between Tank X and Tank Y is 5 cm. The taps at Tank X and Tank Y were turned on at 0700 and 0830. respectively, until both were completely empty. At 1100, the water level in both tanks was the same. At 1230, Tank Y was completely empty and Tank X was only completely empty at 1300. If the rate of the flow of water from each tap was constant throughout, what was the height of Tank Y?

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 )
