Industrial waste is being dumped into Lake A, causing pollution of the water. The pollution concentration of Lake A is maintained at a constant level of c kg/km3 . Lake B has volume V km3 and its rate of inflow (from Lake A) and rate of outflow (to River C) are both equal to r km3 per year. Suppose that at time t = 0 (in years) the pollutant concentration of Lake B (caused by past industrial pollution that has now come to an end) is ten times that of Lake A (which continues to be polluted). How long will it take to reduce the pollution concentration in Lake B to twice that of Lake A?
