A tank can be filled by pipe A in 10 hours and by pipe B in 15 hours. Both pipes are opened together, but due to a leak, the tank actually fills in 8 hours. If the leak alone can empty the full tank in x hours, what is the value of x?

解析
设水箱容量(总工作量)为120(10、15、8的最小公倍数)。
- A管效率 = 12(单位/时间)
- B管效率 = 8(单位/时间)
- A、B同时开且存在漏水时,实际效率为15,即 \( A + B - L(漏水量)= 15 \)
代入计算漏水量\( L \):
\( 12 + 8 - L = 15 \),解得 \( L = 5 \)
因此,仅漏水排空水箱的时间\( x = \frac{120}{5} = 24 \)。
