Question

    A pipe fills a cubical tank at the rate of 196 m3 per minute in 14 minutes. If a cylindrical tank having height same as the side of a cubical tank and the curved surface area of the cylindrical tank is 1408 m2, then find the difference between the volumes of cylindrical tank and cubical tank.

    A 5256 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8520 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2904 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 960 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 5760 m³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Capacity of cubical tank = 196 × 14 = 2744 m3 Let, side of cubical tank = ‘x’ m So, x3 = 2744 m3 x = 14 m So, height of cylindrical tank = 14 m Let, radius of cylindrical tank = ‘r’ m So, 2 × 22/7 × r × 14 = 1408 r = 16 m Volume of cylindrical tank =   22/7 × 16 × 16 × 14 = 11264 m3 Required difference = 11264 – 2744 = 8520 m³
