In an industrial chemical process, salt solution enters a mixing tank at a rate of 5 kg/s. Industrial water enters the same tank at the rate of 20 kg/s. They are thoroughly mixed together and the diluted solution leaves the tank. If the liquid in the tank is to remain constant, determine the rate of flow of the diluted solution. (Answer in kg/s)
