Question
A big iron boiler tank which is cylindrical in shape is open at the top. Its height is 10 m and radius is 7 m. It gets corroded at a rate of 3 m2/day. The number of days it will take to corrode completely is ____ .
(use π=227)
Answer: Option C
:
C
Surface area of the boiler = Curved surface area of boiler + Base area of boiler
=2πrh+πr2
=2×227×7×10+227×72
=440+154
=594 m2
Now, number of days to corrode
=Total Surface Area of tankArea corroded per day
=5943
=198 days
∴ Boiler will take 198 days to get corroded completely.
