Question Details

The data shows volume and height of 4 right circular tanks P, Q, R and S. The given data also depicts time taken to fill or empty the tank by inlet pipe A, B and outlet pipe C.

1. Ratio between time taken by pipe B and that by pipe C is different because pipes were used by the operator in different ways for different tanks.
2. Radius of tank S is 10.5 m.

Correct Answer :

Option C

2: 1

Solution :

The correct option is 2: 1.

Step 1: Find the radius and Curved Surface Area (CSA) of Tank P
We are given the volume of Tank P as 38808 m3 and its height (hP) as 28 m.
The formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder is:
Volume=πrP2hP
Substituting the given values:
38808=227×rP2×28
38808=22×4×rP2
38808=88×rP2
rP2=3880888=441
rP=441=21 m

Now, calculate the Curved Surface Area (CSA) of Tank P using the formula:
CSAP=2πrPhP
CSAP=2×227×21×28
CSAP=2×22×3×28=3696 m2

Step 2: Find the radius and Total Surface Area (TSA) of Tank R
We are given the volume of Tank R as 5390 m3 and its height (hR) as 35 m.
Using the volume formula:
5390=227×rR2×35
5390=22×5×rR2
5390=110×rR2
rR2=5390110=49
rR=49=7 m

Now, calculate the Total Surface Area (TSA) of Tank R using the formula:
TSAR=2πrR(hR+rR)
TSAR=2×227×7×(35+7)
TSAR=44×42=1848 m2

Step 3: Calculate the required ratio
We need to find the ratio of CSAP to TSAR:
Ratio=CSAPTSAR=36961848
Simplifying the fraction:
Ratio=21=2:1
