    A leak was found in a ship when it was 77 km from the shore. It was found that the leak admits 2.25 tones of water in 5.5 min. 92 tones will suffice to sink the ship. But the pumps can throw out 12 tones an hour. Find the average rate of sailing at which the ship may reach the shore as she begins to sink

    A) 10.5 km/h         

    B)  14.5 km/h

    C)  9.75 km/h                    

    D)  13 km/h

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \]Water admits in 5.5 min= 2.25 tones \[\therefore \]Water admits in 60 min \[=\frac{2.25}{55}\times 60=\frac{1350}{55}\]tones After pumps, water contains in boat in 60 min \[=\frac{1350}{55}-12=\frac{690}{55}\]tones \[\because \]\[\frac{690}{55}\]tones water contain in boat in 1 h \[\therefore \]92 tones water contain in boat in \[\frac{55}{690}\times 92=\frac{22}{3}\] \[\therefore \]Required Speed\[=\frac{\frac{77}{22}}{3}=\frac{231}{22}=10.5\,\,\text{km/h}\]
