The power of a water pump is 2 kW. If `g = 10 ms^(-12)`, the amount of water it can raise in one minute to a height of 10 m is 

A

2000 litre

B

1000 litre

C

100 litre

D

1200 litre

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`P = (mgh)/(t) " or " m = (P xx t)/(g xx h)`
`m = (2000 W xx 60s)/(10 ms^(-2) xx 10m) = 1200 kg = 1200 `litre.
