Q.4 Water kept in a porus pot evaporates through the walls of pot. Rate of evaporation is proportional to
volume of water. When water is kept in the pot 75% water get evaporated in 16 hrs.
A suction mechanism attached in the pot sucks water at the rate which is also proportional to volume of
water in the pot. Without evaporations, half of the water kept in pot is sucked in 24 hr. The pot is filled
