A tank has a leak which would empty it in 10 hours,a tap is turned on which admits 4 litre a minute into the tank and now it emptied in 15 hours.The capacity of the tank(in litres) is:

$5$ hours of leak $= 15$ hours of tap
$1$ hour of leak $= 3$ hours of tap
$10$ hour of leak $= 30$ hours of tap
$∴$ tap can fill the tank in $30$ hours.
Water admitted by tap in $30$ hours $= 30 \times 60 \times 4 = 120 \times 60 = 7200$ litres.
