    A cistern of capacity 8000 L measure externally \[3.3\,m\times 2.6\,m\times \text{1}\text{.1}\,m\]  and its wall are 5 cm thick. The thickness of the bottom is

    A) 1 m                              

    B) 1.1 m

    C) 1 dm                

    D) 90 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let x cm be the thickness of the bottom. \[\therefore \] \[(3-2\times 0.05)(2.6-2\times 0.05)\text{ (}1.1-x\text{) }=8\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3.2\times 2.5\times (1.1-x)=8\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[1.1-x=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=0.1\,\text{m}=1\,\text{dm}\]
