Given two bowls A and B

The bowl A emptand and the bowl B contains 32 liters of water.

We fill the bowls with water until theand are full, here is a graph showing the amount of water in the two bowls as a function of time

After how manand minutes from the time the taps are opened will there be 64 liters of water in the tank B?

To solve this problem, we will analyze the graph given:

Step 1: Identify starting condition. Bowl B initially has 32 liters.
Step 2: Use the graph to track the line for bowl B. This line starts at the point (0, 32) on the graph.
Step 3: Locate the point where this line intersects with the horizontal line representing 64 liters.
Step 4: From this intersection point, read down to the time axis to find the corresponding time value.

From the graph, bowl B reaches 64 liters at t = 10 minutes.

Therefore, the correct number of minutes after the taps are opened for bowl B to contain 64 liters of water is 10 minutes.
