Therefore given the above initial condition, Bobs model corresponds to solution curv(I) in part (ii).
Therefore in Bobs model, the volume of water approaches infinity in the long run (norealistic) whereas in Andys model, the volume of water reasonably diminishes to zelong run/after some time.
Thus, Andys model is more appropriate than Bobs model.
