Explanation:

If the total area of pump=1 part
The pumop take 2 hrs to fill 1 part
The pumop take1 hour to fill 1/2 portion
Due to lickage
The pumop take 7/3 hrs to fill 1 part
The pumop take1 hour to fill 3/7 portion
Now the difference of area = (1/2-3/7)=1/14
This 1/14 part of water drains in 1 hour
Total area=1 part of water drains in (1x14/1)hours= 14 hours
So the leak can drain all the water of the tank in 14 hours.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
