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?

Total volume = 60 S tank
(s¹ )(10) – (s)10 = 30s
s¹ (s) – s = 3s
s¹ = 4s
s¹ = 4 drawing rate

Correct Option: A

Total volume = 60 S tank
(s¹ )(10) – (s)10 = 30s
s¹ (s) – s = 3s
s¹ = 4s
s¹ = 4 drawing rate

The sum of eight consecutive odd numbers is 656. The average of four consecutive even numbers is 87. What is the sum of the smallest odd number and second largest even number?

Eight consecutive odd number = 656
a – 6, a – 1, a – 2, a, a + 2, a + 4, a + 6 a + 8 = 656
a = 81 ................(1)
Smallest m = 75
Average consecutive even numbers

⇒	a - 2 + a + a + 2 + a + 4	= 87
	4

⇒ a = 86
Second largest number = 88
1 + 2 = 163
