A cylindrical tank of radius 10 m is being filled with wheat at the rate of 314 cubic mere per hour.
A cylindrical tank of radius 10 m is being filled with wheat at the rate of 314 cubic mere per hour. Then the depth of the wheat is increasing at the rate of
(A) $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
(B) $0.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
(C) $1.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
(D) $0.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
Let r be the radius of the cylinder.
Then, volume (V) of the cylinder is given by,
$\begin{aligned} V &=\pi(\text { radius })^{2} \times \text { height } \\ &=\pi(10)^{2} h \quad(\text { radius }=10 \mathrm{~m}) \\ &=100 \pi h \end{aligned}$
Differentiating with respect to time t, we have:
$\frac{d V}{d t}=100 \pi \frac{d h}{d t}$
The tank is being filled with wheat at the rate of 314 cubic metres per hour.
$\therefore \frac{d V}{d t}=314 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{h}$
Thus, we have:
$314=100 \pi \frac{d h}{d t}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d h}{d t}=\frac{314}{100(3.14)}=\frac{314}{314}=1$
Hence, the depth of wheat is increasing at the rate of 1 m/h.
The correct answer is A.
