Answer:

5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let the time after which two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels is 'X' minutes.

so, according to the question after 'X' minutes;

⇒ number of barrels in old conveyer line = number of barrels in new conveyer line

⇒ 40x + 2X = 10X  

⇒ X = 5
