In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is :
(a)75 cu. m
(b)750 cu. m
(c)7500 cu. m
(d)75000 cu. m
Answer
Explanation
Area $=(1.5 \times 10000) \mathrm{m}^{2}=15000 \mathrm{m}^{2}$. Depth $=\frac{5}{100} \mathrm{m}=\frac{1}{20} \mathrm{m}$. $$\text { ∴ Volume }=(\text { Area } \text { × } \text { Depth })=\left(15000 \times \frac{1}{20}\right) \mathrm{m}^{3}=750 \mathrm{m}^{3} .$$
