    Water flows at a rate of 10 m per min from a cylindrical pipe mm in diameter. How long will it take to fill up a conical vessel whose diameter at the base is 40 cm and depth is 24 cm?

    A) 51 min 12 s

    B) 52 min 1 s

    C) 48 min 15 s

    D) 55 min

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given, radius of pipe \[=\frac{5}{20}\,cm,\] height of pipe = 1000 cm radius of vessel = 20 cm and    height = 24 cm Volume of water flow in one minute from cylindrical pipe \[=\pi {{\left( \frac{5}{20}2 \right)}^{2}}\times 1000=\frac{125}{2}\pi \,c{{m}^{^{3}}}\] and volume of conical vessel \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{(20)}^{2}}\times 24=3200\,\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \]Required time \[=\frac{3200\pi \times 2}{125\,\pi }\] \[=51\frac{1}{5}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[51\min 12\,s\]
