Answer:
  [tex]\frac{V}{2av}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Volume V
Contains N particles
Leaks from a small hole of area A
Generally the equation for Flow rate is given as
Volume Flow Rate  [tex]V_r = A * v[/tex]
Mathematically we find the  time taken to flow half way which is given by
     [tex]\frac{(V/2)}{A*v}[/tex]
Therefore the  time taken is
      [tex]\frac{V}{2av}[/tex]
