Container A and Container B are fully filled with water. If all the water in Container A is poured into Tank C, it is 30 litres short of filling it to the brim. If all the water in Container B is poured into the same tank, it is 56 litres short of filling it to the brim. If the water from both containers is poured into the same tank, it will completely fill it. If both Tank C and Container B are completely filled, how much more water can Tank C fill than Container B?

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?
