An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one of the coils is connected to an a.c. sotuce, the water in the kettle boils in $10$ minutes. When the other coil is used the w’ater boils in $40$ minutes. If both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water to boil will be ...... $min$
