    A well 20 m in diameter is dug 14 m deep and the earth taken out is spread all around it to a width of 5 m to form an embankment. The height of the embankment is

    A) 10 m                

    B) 11 m

    C) 11.2 m 

    D) 11.5 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\therefore \] \[r=10\,m,\] \[h=14\,m\] \[\therefore \] Volume of earth dug out \[=\pi {{(10)}^{2}}\times 14\]             \[=\frac{22}{7}\times 100\times 19=4400\,c{{m}^{3}}\] Let the height of cuboid \[=x\,cm\] \[\therefore \]      \[\pi ({{15}^{2}}-{{10}^{2)}}\times x=4400\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{22}{7}(125-100)\times x=4400\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{7\times 4400}{22\times 125}=11.2\,m\]
