Volume of water discharged through the pipe = Volume increase of the tank First, consider the pipe. Volume discharge through pipe = length×breadth×speed×time Let the time taken to fill the tank to 3 m depth be t. Volume discharge through pipe, V=2×10−1×1.5×10−1×15×103×t ⇒ V=450t cu. m Now consider the tank Depth of the tank = 3 m Volume of the tank V=150×100×3 cu. m ⇒ V=450×100 Therefore, 450t=450×100 ⇒ t=100 hours
