Answer»

Actual time taken by tank is = 16 hrs

Amount of water filled in 1 hour = 1/16 hrs

Time taken due to leakage = 24 hrs

Amount of water filled in 1 hour due to leakage = 1/24 hrs

Time taken to empty tank completely = 1/16 - 1/24

=3/48 - 2/48

=1/48

Therefore tank is completely emptied in 48 hours

Option d is correct.
