  • Question
  • Water flows at the rate of 10 m/min from a cylindrical pipe 5 mm in diameter. How long will it take to fill up a conical vessel whose diameter at the base is 40 cm and depth is 24 cm?


  • Options
  • A. 51 min 12 s
  • B. 52 min 1 s
  • C. 48 min 15 s
  • D. 55 min

  • Correct Answer
  • 51 min 12 s 

    Explanation

    Given, radius of pipe 5/2 x 10 = 5/20 cm [? 1 cm = 10 mm]
    Height of pipe = 1000 cm
    Radius of vessel = 20 cm and height = 24 cm
    Volume of water flow in one minute from cylindrical pipe = ? (5/20)2 x 1000
    = 125/2 ? cm3
    and volume of conical vessel = 1/3 ?(20)2 x 24 = 3200? cm3
    ? Required time = (3200? x 2) / 125?
    = 511/5 or 51 min 12 s
