Question 51. Water flows at the rate of 10 m per mins from a cylindrical pipe of radius 2.5 mm. A conical vessel of diameter 40 cm and depth 24 cm is filled with water flowing from this pipe. The time taken to fill the conical vessel is:
  1.    < 30 mins
  2.    30 < t < 50 mins
  3.    50 < t < 75 mins
  4.    >75 mins
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 50 < t < 75 mins
:
C
Area=πr2=6.25π
Rate of flow= (πr2x1000) mm3/min
=6250π mm2/min
Volume of cone=13 πr2h = 13 π (200)2x 240 mm3
=80πx40000
=3200000π mm3
Thus, total time taken is:
(Volumeofconeinmm3)(Rateofwaterflowinmm3/min) = 51.2min
Thus answer option (c) is correct.

Solution:- Calculate the altitude of the equilateral triangle. Then according to the conditions given,
Diameter of the circle circumscribing the equilateral triangle= Altitude of the equilateral triangle + Diameter of the smaller cirlce.
Solve the above equation for the required answer.
Alternate Soln: The triangle’s dimension is used to calculate the radii of the outermost and the second circle.
