Question 420131: Two identical tanks full of water are being drained at the same time. One of the tanks has one- two inch circular drain outlet and the other has two- one inch circular drain outlets. Which will drain faster and why?

The tank with the 2-inch circular outlet will drain faster. This is because the two 1-inch circular outlets can be fit tangentially inside the 2-inch circular outlet. The outgoing volume per unit time would then be greater in the 2-inch circular outlet.
