Ali along with his friend embarked on a boat journey. While making all his preparations for the journey, he checked with the boat manufacturer's data and was glad to learn that the boat was really dependable as it could float even if it was upto 75% full of water (with more water it could sink). Unfortunately, the boat developed a hole during his journey the hole filling up water @ 2 liter per minute. The boat was also equipped with a drainage pump which could empty a boat full of water in 32 hrs. If Ali figures that they have a maximum of 12 hrs to reach a safe place (before they sink), what is the capacity of the boat?
