12. X and Y are two faucets which can fill a tank individually in 10 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively. However, there is a leakage at the bottom which can empty a filled tank in 40 minutes. If the tank is empty initially, how much time will both faucets take to fill the tank assuming the leakage is still there?

A 200-liter tank initially contains 100 liters of brine solution containing 25kg of salt. A brine solution containing 0.5 kg/ liter of salt flows into the container at a rate of 1 liter/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed, and the mixture flows out at a rate of 0.5 liters/min. How much salt is in the container after 10 minutes? When the tank is about to overflow, another drain is opened at 1 liter/min. How much salt is in the tank when the volume returns to what it was initially?
A tank originally contains 100 gal of fresh water. Then water containing lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture is allowed to leave at the same rate. After 10 min the process is stopped, and fresh water is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, with the mixture again leaving at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at the end of an additional 10 min. Round your answer to two decimal places. i 3 lbs
