There is not enough information given to solve the problem.

If we were given, for example, the rate at which the volume of sugar juice in the funnel is changing, we could COMPARE that to the rate ate which the level of the juice in the cylinder is rising.

But without knowing some other rate like that, there is no way to calculate the rate the question asks for.
