Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All pressure-relief valves are set 50 higher than the system working pressure (e.g., set at 75 psi for a 50-psi system pressure).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Subtract 10 lb from 20 lb = 10 lb. Convert 10 lb/2.5 lb/L= 4 L. 4  860 = 3440 L. Then divide by the flow 3440 L/3 L/min = 1146 minutes, or 19 hours.
