The water flows 6 liters per minute in the other branch of pipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Flow of water in main pipe = 10L/min

Flow of water in one branch = 4L/min

Flow of water in other branch = x

Flow of water in main pipe = Flow in one branch + Flow in other branch

$10=4+x\\10-4=x\\6=x\\x=6$

The water flows 6 liters per minute in the other branch of pipe.
