Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Combined rate: \( \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{25} = \frac{5-4}{100} = \frac{1}{100} \) tank/hour Fraction filled in 10 hours: \( \frac{1}{100} \times 10 = \frac{1}{10} \) Remaining fraction to fill: \( 1 - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{9}{10} \) Time to fill remaining fraction by inlet pipe:…
