A) less than 7 hours
B) 7 hours
C) more than 14 hours
D) more than 7 hours but less than 14 hours
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
We know that the time of formation of ice in a lake from thickness \[{{y}_{1}}\] to \[{{y}_{2}}\]is directly proportional to \[({{y}_{2}}^{2}-{{y}_{1}}^{2})\propto {{t}_{1}}\] ??..(i) Again, \[({{y}_{3}}^{2}-{{y}_{2}}^{2})\propto {{t}_{2}}\] ??.(ii) Given: \[{{y}_{1}}=0cm,\,\,{{y}_{2}}=1cm\] \[{{y}_{3}}=2cm,\,\,{{t}_{1}}=7\,hour,\,{{t}_{2}}=?\] From (i) and (ii), we get \[\frac{{{y}_{3}}^{2}-{{y}_{2}}^{2}}{{{y}_{2}}^{2}-{{y}_{1}}^{2}}=\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{7}\] or \[\frac{{{2}^{2}}-{{1}^{2}}}{{{1}^{2}}-{{0}^{2}}}=\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{7}\] or \[\frac{3}{1}=\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{7}\] Hence, \[{{t}_{2}}=7\times 3=21hour\]You need to login to perform this action.
