Answer:\frac{140}{3} weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 14 weeks to empty a lake

also it takes 20 weeks for a river to fill the lake

Part of lake empty in 1 week =\frac{1}{14}

Part of lake filled in 1 week is =\frac{1}{20}

And if both works simultaneously then

\frac{1}{14}-\frac{1}{20}=\frac{10-7}{140}

=\frac{3}{140}

therefore it takes \frac{140}{3} weeks to fill it
