Answer

40 litres per minute\text{40 litres per minute}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

  1. Identify the given values.

    The total volume of water is 600 litres.
    The time taken to empty the tank is 15 minutes.

  2. Calculate the rate of pumping.

    The rate of pumping is defined as the volume of water pumped per unit of time.

    Rate=Total VolumeTotal Time\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Volume}}{\text{Total Time}} Rate=600 litres15 minutes\text{Rate} = \frac{600 \text{ litres}}{15 \text{ minutes}}

  3. Perform the division.

    Rate=40litresminute\text{Rate} = 40 \frac{\text{litres}}{\text{minute}}

    The rate of pumping is 40 litres per minute\text{40 litres per minute}.
