On a particular day, the rain fall recorded in a terrace 6 m long and 5 m board is 15 cm. The quantity of water collected in the terrace is
A. 300 litres
B. 450 litres
C. 3000 litres
D. 4500 litres
Answers
d)4500 litres
Explanation :-
Area of terrace = 6m × 5m = 30m^2
height of rain water = 15cm = 0.15m
Volume of water = area × height = 30×0.15 = 4.5 m^3
1m^3 = 1000l
4.5m^3 = 4.5×1000 = 4500l
So water collected on terrace is 4.5m^3 or 4500 littres.
Given : The rainfall recorded in a terrace 6 m long and 5 m board is 15 cm.
Length of terrace ,l = 6 m = 600 cm
[1 m = 100 cm]
Breadth of terrace , b = 5 m = 500 cm
Height of rainfall , h = 15 cm
Quantity of water collected in the terrace = Volume of water V = l × b × h
V = 600 × 500 × 15
V = 4500000 cm³
V = 4500000/1000 litre
[1 cm³ = 1/1000 litres]
V = 4500 litres
Hence, the quantity of water collected in the terrace is 4500 litres.
Option (D) 4500 litres is correct.
