One pipe can fill a tank three times as fast as another pipe. If together the two pipes can fill the tank in $36$ minutes,then the slower pipe alone will be able to fill the tank in (in minutes):

$A$ tank has a leak which would empty it in $8$ $hrs$. $A$ tap is turned on which admits $6$ $litres$ a minute into the tank,and it is now emptied in $12$ $hrs$. How many litres does the tank hold?

$A$ tap takes $36$ hours extra to fill a tank due to a leakage equivalent to half of its inflow. In how many hours can the inlet pipe alone fill the tank?

Two taps $A$ and $B$ can fill a tank in $10$ $hours$ and $15$ $hours$,respectively. If both the taps are opened together,the tank will be full in (in $hours$):
