A 300 mm-dia 5000m long is connected between two reservoirs A and B having water surface elevations at 150m and 100m, respectively.  To increase the capacity of the old pipeline, a 300mm-dia pipeline 2500m long is laid out from the original pipeline at its mid-point towards reservoir B.  Assuming f=0.027 for all pipes, what would be the increase in flow by installing the new pipeline? Neglect minor losses.
