The time required to empty a tank varies as inversely as the rate of pumping. If a pump can empty a tank in 45 min at the rate of 600 kl/min, how long will it take the pump to empty the same tank at the rate of 1000 kl/min?

Answer:

27 minutes.

Explanation:

R = k/t

Substituting given info

600 = k/45

k = 45 * 600 = 27000

So the relation is S = 27000/t

So if R = 1000

1000 = 27000/t

t = 27000/ 1000

t = 27.
