It takes 30 minutes to empty a half-full tank by draining it at a constant rate. It is decided to simultaneously pump water into the half-full tank while draining it. What is the rate at which water has to be pumped in so that it gets fully filled in 10 minutes?
4 times the draining rate
Let capacity be V. The draining rate is V/60 per minute. Filling the remaining V/2 in 10 minutes requires net inflow V/20. Thus pump rate = V/20+V/60=V/15, four times the draining rate.
