Problem 2

  • Day 1

When filled with an cold water using a particular cold water tap, a tank will be full in 14 minutes. In 21 minutes, the full tank could be emptied by opening a hole on the base of the tank. If the cold water tap and the hot water tap are opened simultaneously (allowing hot and cold water fill the tank), and the hole on the base of the tank is opened, the tank will be full in 12.6 minutes. Determine the number of minutes needed to fill the tank with hot water until the tank is full, assuming at first the tank is empty and the hole is closed.
