Direction: At a station, Storm I of 5 hour duration with intensity 2 cm/h resulted in a runoff of 4 cm and Storm II of 8 hour duration resulted in a runoff of 8.4 cm. Assume that the φ-index is the same for both the storms.

  1. The φ-index (in cm/h) is
    1. 1.2
    2. 1.0
    3. 1.6
    4. 1.4
Correct Option: A

φ-index =
2 × 5 - 4
5

=
10 - 4
=
6
= 1.2 cm/hr
55
