  • Question
  • A single pipe of diameter x has to be replaced by six pipes of diameters 12 cm each. The pipes are used to covey some liquid in a laboratory. If the speed/flow of the liquid is maintained the same then the value of x is ?


  • Options
  • A. 14.69 cm
  • B. 29.39 cm
  • C. 18.65 cm
  • D. 22.21 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 29.39 cm 

    Explanation

    Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms.

     

    As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. 

     

    Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 

    i.e  ?R 2   =   6 ?R 1 2    

    Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6   

    ? R 2   =   6 × 6 × 6    

    R = 14.696   

    => D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.
