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?

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?

Level 3 PSLE
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 )

Level 3
The figure is not drawn to scale. It shows a container made of two connected cubical tanks, A and B. Tank A is sealed at the top and completely filled to the brim. Tank B is 35 filled with 129600 mℓ of water. The height of the water level in Tank B is 1 cm higher than that in Tank A. The height of Tank B is 60 cm. Water is then drained from the container and the height of the water level from the base falls to 30 cm.
  1. What is the capacity of Tank B?
  2. What is the volume of water in the tank now in litres?

Level 3 PSLE
The figure shows the amount of water in two rectangular Tanks, A and B, at first.
Ray poured 14 of the water from A into B to fill it to the top, without overflowing.
  1. How much water was there in A at first?
  2. Ray then poured all the water from B into A. 720 cm3 of water overflowed from A. What was the height of A?
