    A cylindrical water tank of diameter 1.4 m and height 2.1 m is being fed by a pipe of diameter 3.5 cm through which water flows at the rate of 2 m/s. The time it take to fill the tank (in min) is

    A) 20        

    B)  24     

    C)  26

    D)  28

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Radius of water tank\[=\frac{1.4\times 100}{2}\,\,\text{cm}=70\,\,\text{cm}\]
    Height of tank = 2.1 m = 210 cm
    \[\therefore \] Volume of water tank = \[\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]
    \[=\frac{22}{7}\times {{(70)}^{2}}\times 210\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{3}}\]
    \[=22\times 70\times 210\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{3}}\]
    Radius of pipe \[=\frac{3.5}{2}\,\,\text{cm}=\frac{7}{4}\,\,\text{cm}\]
    Length of water which flows from the pipe in 1 s
    = 2 m = 200 cm
    \[\therefore \] Volume of water delivered in 1 s
    \[=\frac{22}{7}\times {{\left( \frac{7}{4} \right)}^{2}}\times 200=77\times 25\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{3}}\]
    \[\therefore \] Time to fill the tank by the pipe
    \[=\frac{22\times 700\times 210}{77\times 25}=1680\]
    \[=\frac{1680}{60}=28\,\,\min \]
