      Question

      (160/3)% of the raindrops could have been collected,

      when 5 cm of rain has fallen on a part of land of area 1.8 km2, in a tank having a 240 m Γ— 10 m base, then water collected in the tank is 75% of its capacity. Find the capacity of the tank?Β 
      A 232500 mΒ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 115200 mΒ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 115000 mΒ³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 87500 mΒ³ 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, β‡’ 5/100 Γ— 1800 Γ— 1800 Γ— 160/300 = 240 Γ— 10 Γ— h β‡’ h = 36 m Volume of water in the tank = 240m Γ— 10m Γ— 36m = 86400 m3 Since, water in the tank is 75% of its capacity. So, capacity of tank = (86400/75) Γ— 100 = 115200 m3
