a cylindrical tankfull of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of 225ltrs

To find out how long it takes to empty a cylindrical tank filled with water at a rate of 225 liters, you need to know the capacity of the tank.

Let's assume the capacity of the cylindrical tank is 'C' liters.

The rate at which the water is being emptied is given as 225 liters per some unit of time, let's say 'T' hours.

So, the equation that relates the rate of emptying the tank, the capacity of the tank, and the time taken is:

225 liters / T hours = C liters / 1 hour

Simplifying this equation, we get:

225 = C / T

To find out how long it takes to empty the tank, we rearrange the equation to solve for T:

T = C / 225

Therefore, the time taken to empty the tank in hours will be equal to the capacity of the tank divided by 225.
