  1. ​How much water, a pump of 2 kW can raise in one minute to a height of 10 m, take g = 10 m/s2 ?​​​
    1. 1000 litres ​
    2. ​1200 litres ​
    3. ​100 litres
    4. 2000 litres
Correct Option: B

P =
W
Here, P = 2kW = 2000 W.
t

W = Mgh = M × 10 × 10 = 100 M ​and t = 60 s. ​
This gives, M = 1200 kg
​Its volume = 1200 litre as 1 litre of water contains 1 kg of its mass.
