Correct Answer: 75 hours
Solution : The pipe fills the tank in 30 hours. So, it fills $\frac{1}{30}$th of the tank in 1 hour. With the leak, the pipe fills $\frac{1}{50}$th the tank in 1 hour. The volume the leak empties in 1 hour $=\frac{1}{30} - \frac{1}{50} = \frac{5 - 3}{150} = \frac{2}{150} = \frac{1}{75}$ So, the leak will empty the full tank in 75 hours. Hence, the correct answer is 75 hours.
