  1. What part of a ditch, 48 metres long, 16.5 metres broad and 4 metres deep can be filled by the earth got by digging a cylindrical tunnel of diameter 4 metres and length 56 metres ? (Use π = 22/7)
    1. 1/9
    2. 2/9
    3. 7/9
    4. 8/9
Correct Option: B

Volume of earth taken out = πr²h

=
22
× 2 × 2 × 56 = 704 m³
7

Volume of the ditch = 48 × 16.5 × 4 m³
= 3168 m³
Part of the ditch filled =
704
=
2
