Options:

A) 2000 litre

B) 1000 litre

C) 100 litre

D) 1200 litre

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

P = $ \frac{mgh}{t} $ therefore m = $ \frac{p\times t}{gh}=\frac{2\times 10^{3}\times 60}{10\times 10} $

$ =1200 $ kg

As volume = $ \frac{mass}{density} $

therefore $ v=\frac{1200kg}{10^{3}kg/m^{3}}=1.2m^{3} $

Volume = $ 1.2m^{3}=1.2\times 10^{3}litre=1200\ litre $
