A booster pump can be used for filling as-well-as for emptying a tank. The capacity of the tank to 2400 m3. The emptying capacity of the tank i8 10 m3 per min higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs 8 min lesser to empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What is the filling capacity of the pump?
Let, the filling capacity of the pump be x m^3/min
Then, emptying capacity of the pump=(x+10) m^3/min.
So,2400/x - 2400/(x+10) = 8
On solving, we get
x=$$50 m^3/min$$
