Water is pouring into the reservoir at the rate of 60 liters per minute. If the volume of the reservoir is 108m3, find the number of hours it will take to fill the reservoir

Open in App

Solution

Rate of flow of water = 60 litres/minute

Volume of the tank = 108 m^3

1 m^3 = 1000 litres

108 m^3= 108000 litres

Time taken to fill the complete tank = 108000/60 = 1800 minutes = 1800/60 hours = 30 hours

The tank will be filled completely in 30 hours.
