    A cistern of capacity 16000 litres measures externally 6.6 m by 5.2 m by 2.2 m and its walls are 10 cm thick. The thickness of the bottom is:                      

    A)  \[2.80\] cm                   

    B)  \[2.08\] cm

    C)  \[2.8\] m                

    D)       \[3.80\] cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let the thickness of the bottom be \[x\] cm. Then, \[[(660-10)\times (520-10)\times (220-x)]=16000\times 1000\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[650\times 510\times (220-x)=16000\times 1000\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(220-x)=\frac{16000\,\,\,\,1000}{640\,\,\,\,\,\,\,500}=500\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=280\]cm \[2.8\]m.
