  • Question
  • A Conical tent was erected by the army at a base camp with height 3 m and base diameter 10 m. If every person requires 3.92 cu.m air, then how many persons can be seated in that tent approximately?


  • Options
  • A. 20
  • B. 19
  • C. 17
  • D. 22

  • Correct Answer
  • 20 

    Explanation

    Given height of the conical tent = 3 m

    Diameter = 10 => Radius = D/2 = 10/2 = 5 m 

    Now, as the tent is in the conical form

    Volume of the conical tent =  ? r 2 h 3  

    => (22 x 5 x 5 x 3) / (7 x 3) 

    = 22 x 25/7 

    = 78.54 cu.m 

    Given each person requires 3.92 cu.m of air 

    => Number of persons can be seated in the tent = 78.54/3.92 = 20.03 =~ 20
