The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the question and use the information provided. ### Step 1: Define the dimensions of the rectangular tank Let the smaller side of the rectangular tank be \( x \) meters. According to the problem, the longer side is 150% more than the smaller side. Therefore, the longer side can be expressed as: \[ \text{Longer side} = x + 1.5x = 2.5x \] ### Step 2: Calculate the area of the rectangular tank The area of the rectangular tank is given as \( 1440 \, m^2 \). The area can also be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} = (2.5x) \times x = 2.5x^2 \] Setting this equal to the given area: \[ 2.5x^2 = 1440 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), we rearrange the equation: \[ x^2 = \frac{1440}{2.5} = 576 \] Taking the square root of both sides: \[ x = \sqrt{576} = 24 \, \text{meters} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the dimensions of the rectangular tank Now that we have \( x \): - Smaller side (breadth) = \( 24 \, m \) - Longer side (length) = \( 2.5 \times 24 = 60 \, m \) ### Step 5: Find the height of the rectangular tank The volume of the rectangular tank is given as \( 10800 \, m^3 \). The volume can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Height} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 10800 = 60 \times 24 \times h \] Calculating \( 60 \times 24 \): \[ 10800 = 1440h \] Now, solving for \( h \): \[ h = \frac{10800}{1440} = 7.5 \, m \] ### Step 6: Calculate the dimensions of the conical tank The radius of the conical tank is given as \( \frac{7}{8} \) of the smaller side of the rectangular tank: \[ \text{Radius} = \frac{7}{8} \times 24 = 21 \, m \] The height of the conical tank is twice the height of the rectangular tank: \[ \text{Height of conical tank} = 2 \times 7.5 = 15 \, m \] ### Step 7: Calculate the capacity of the conical tank The capacity of the conical tank can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cone: \[ \text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (21)^2 \times 15 \] Calculating \( (21)^2 = 441 \): \[ \text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 441 \times 15 \] Calculating \( \frac{22 \times 441 \times 15}{3 \times 7} \): \[ = \frac{22 \times 441 \times 15}{21} = 22 \times 21 \times 15 = 6930 \, m^3 \] ### Final Answer The capacity of water contained by the conical tank is \( 6930 \, m^3 \). ---
