    Question

    (180/3)% of the raindrops could have been collected,

    when 8 cm of rain has fallen on a part of land of area 2.5 km2, in a tank having a 200 m × 10 m base, then water collected in the tank is 75% of its capacity. Find the capacity of the tank?
    A 400000 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 280000 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 140000 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 142500 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 202500 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The volume of rain water in the land which could have been collected and the volume of water in the tank should be equal . Let, level of water in the tank is h meter. According to the question, ⇒ 8/100 × 2500 × 2500 × 180/300 = 200 × 10 × h ⇒ h = 150 m Volume of water in the tank = 200m × 10m × 150m = 300000 m3 Since, water in the tank is 75% of its capacity. So, capacity of tank = (300000/75) × 100 = 400000 m3
