    In a marriage ceremony of her daughter Poonam, Ashok has to make arrangements for the accommodation of 150 persons. For this purpose, he plans to build a conical tent in such a way that each person have 4 sq. metres of the space on ground and 20 cubic metres of air to breath. What should be the height of the conical tent?

    A)  20m                           

    B)  15m               

    C)  12m                           

    D)  30m   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total number of people = 150 Space required for each person on the ground \[=4\,{{m}^{2}}\] Area of base of the cone \[=150\times 4\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\pi {{r}^{2}}=600\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,{{r}^{2}}=\frac{2100}{11}\] Volume of air required by 150 persons \[=150\times 20\]. \[\Rightarrow \]  \[\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h=3000\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times \frac{2100}{11}\times h=3000\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[200h=3000\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,h=15\,m\]
