Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1247.4 minutes Given: The radius of the tank, r = 6.3 m Speed of water through pipe = 14 litres/sec Formula used: Volume of tank = (4/3) × πr3 1 m3 = 1000 litres Calculation: Volume of tank = (4/3) × πr3 ⇒ The volume of tank = (4/3) × (22/7) × (6.3)3 ⇒ 1047.816 m3 The volume of pipe in 1 second = 14 litres ⇒ The volume of pipe in 1 second = (14/1000) m3 Time is taken by pipe to empty the tank = (Volume of the tank)/(Volume of pipe in 1 second) ⇒ (1047.816)/(14/1000) ⇒ 74844 seconds ⇒ (74844)/60 minutes ⇒ 1247.4 minutes ∴ The time taken by pipe to empty the tank is 1247.4 minutes |
