Question:

Water is flowing at the rate of 8 km/h through a cylindrical pipe of diameter 14 cm into a cuboidal tank of 44 m length and 35 m breath. How long will it take to rise to a level of 10cm?

Options:

85 min

70 min

125 min

60 min

Correct Answer:

85 min

Explanation:

The water (measured in cubic cm) is being filled by pipe into the tank -

volume of water supplied by pipe = volume of tank at height 10 cm

⇒ \(\pi \) r2h = 44 × 35 × 10 × 100 × 100

⇒ \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 7 × 7 × h = 44 × 35 × 103

⇒ h= 104 cm or 10 km

Time = \(\frac{distance}{speed}\) = \(\frac{10}{8}\) = 1.25 h or 85 minutes
