  1. Water flows at the rate of 10 metres per minute from a cylindrical pipe 5 mm in diameter. How long it take to fill up a conical vessel whose diameter at the base is 30 cm and depth 24 cm ?
    1. 28 minutes 48 seconds
    2. 51 minutes 12 seconds
    3. 51 minutes 24 seconds
    4. 28 minutes 36 seconds
Correct Option: A

Volume of water flowing from the pipe in 1 minute = π × 0.25 × 0.25 × 1000 cu.cm.

Volume of conical vessel =
1
π × 15 × 15 × 24 cu.cm
3

∴ Required time =
π × 15 × 15 × 24
= 28 minutes 48 seconds
3π × 0.25 × 0.25 × 1000
