A Booster pump can be used for filling as well as for emptying a tank. The capacity of the tank is 2400 m3. The emptying capacity of the tank is 10 m3 per minute higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs 8 minutes lesser to empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What is the filling capacity of the pump?  Choose the correct choice: A) 18 B) 50 C) 34 D) 69 E) 59
Let, the filling capacity of the pump be x m3/min   Then, emptying capacity of the pump=(x+10) m3/min.   So,2400/x – 2400/(x+10) = 8   on solving x=50.   ANSWER:50
