Water flows a tank 200 x 150m through a rectangular pipe 1.5 x 1.25m at the rate at 20kmph. In what time will be water rises by 2 meters?
Correct answer: D. 96min
- A. 76 min
- B. 80min
- C. 90min
- D. 96min
Explanation
The required water volume is 200 m × 150 m × 2 m = 60,000 m3. The pipe area is 1.5 m × 1.25 m = 1.875 m2, and at 20 km/h = 20,000 m/h its flow is 37,500 m3/h, so time = 60,000 m3 ÷ 37,500 m3/h = 1.6 h = 96 min. The likely wrong choice is 90 min, caused by rounding the flow or time too early.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
