For Tank \(A\), we have
100 \(l\) - 5 \(l/min\)

For Tank \(B\), we have
20 \(l\) + 3\(l/min\)

Therefore,
\(100-(5/t) = 20+(3/t)\quad\Rightarrow\quad t = 10\, min\)

=>

The amount of water in the tank A after m minutes is 100 - 5m and the amount of water in the tank B after m minutes is 20 + 3m.
Equating these volumes yields 100 - 5m = 20 + 3m, or 8m = 80.
Thus, m = 10.

Therefore, A is the answer.
Answer: A
