    A tank full of water has a small hole at its bottom. If one-fourth of the tank is emptied in it, seconds and the remaining three-fourths of the tank is emptied in  seconds. Then the ratio \[({{t}_{1}}/{{t}_{2}})\]is:

    A)                  \[\sqrt{3}\]                                       

    B)                  \[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)                  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                                    

    D)                  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Let h is the height of water, A is the area of tank and \[{{A}_{0}}\]be the area of hole orifice which is in the bottom. Time taken by the tank to be emptied is given by                 \[t=\frac{A}{{{A}_{0}}}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\]                                                          ?(i)                 Let \[{{t}_{1}}\] is the time for tank to be emptied upto \[\frac{1}{4}\]height is given by                 \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{A}{{{A}_{0}}}\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}\left( \frac{h}{4} \right)}\]                                               ?(ii)                 \[{{t}_{2}}\]is the time, for emptying the remaining \[\frac{3}{4}\] of the tank is given by                 \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{A}{{{A}_{0}}}\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}\left( \frac{3h}{4} \right)}\]                                            ?(iii)                 Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we have                 \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{A}{{{A}_{0}}}\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}\times \frac{h}{4}}}{\frac{A}{{{A}_{0}}}\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}\left( \frac{3h}{4} \right)}}=\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}\times \frac{h}{4}\times \frac{4g}{6h}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\]
