    A pipe of diameter d can drain a certain water tank in 40 min. The time taken by a pipe of diameter 2d for doing the same job in

    A) 5 min

    B)  10 min  

    C)  20 min

    D)  80 min

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\text{Time}\propto \frac{1}{\text{Cross}-\text{Sectional}\,\,\text{area}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{the}\,\,\text{pipe}}\]
    Time \[\propto \frac{1}{\frac{\pi }{4}{{d}^{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]Time \[\propto \frac{1}{{{d}^{2}}}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[\frac{{{t}_{2}}}{{{t}_{1}}}=\frac{{{({{d}_{1}})}^{2}}}{{{({{d}_{2}})}^{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{t}_{2}}={{t}_{1}}{{\left( \frac{{{d}_{1}}}{{{d}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[{{t}_{2}}=40\,\,\min ,\]\[{{d}_{1}}=d,\]\[{{d}_{2}}=2d\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{t}_{2}}=40{{\left( \frac{d}{2d} \right)}^{2}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{t}_{2}}=40{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{t}_{2}}=10\]min
