Explanation:

Required time be x hours.
Formula: If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours, then on opening both the
pipes, the net part filled in 1 hour = (1/x - 1/y) (where y > x).
Then, 1/9 - 1/x = 1/10
=> 1/x = 1/9-1/10
=> 1/x = 1/90.
.'. leak will be empty it in 90 hours.
