We know, a water tank or a cistern is connected with two types of pipes to fill and empty it i.e. inlet and outlet. Work done by inlet is positive and work done by outlet is negative.

1. A pipe can fill the cistern in 7 hours. Due to a leakage in cistern it is filled in 8 hours. After the cistern is full, in how much time will it be emptied due to leakage?
