Question:

A tap drips at a rate of one drop/second. 600 drops make 100 ml. The number of litres wasted in 300 days are?

Options:

4320000

432000

4320

432

Correct Answer:

432

Explanation:

1 sec → 1 drop

in 30 days no. of seconds = ( 24 × 60 × 60 × 30)

No. of ml wasted = \(\frac{100 × 24 × 60 × 60 × 30 }{600}\)

                         = 4320 × 100

                         = \(\frac{432000}{1000}\) = 432
