Answer:

<em />

  • <em>It takes</em><u>     2.5 minutes   </u><em>to fill the tank.</em>

Explanation:

The net speed or net rate for filling the 10-liters tank is equal to the speed the tap is filling less the speed the water is leaking through the hole located at the bottom of the tank:

  • Net rate = rate of filling - rate of leaking
  • Net rate = 5 liters/minute - 1 liter/minute
  • Net rate = 4 liters/minute

Thus, consiedering the tank is empty at the beginning, the time is:

  • Time = Volume of the tank / net rate of filling
  • Time = 10 liters / (4liters/minute)
  • Time = 2.5 minutes ← answer
