Q.

A Conical tent was erected by the army at a base camp with height 3 m and base diameter 10 m. If every person requires 3.92 cu.m air, then how many persons can be seated in that tent approximately?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Given height of the conical tent = 3 m Diameter = 10 => Radius = D/2 = 10/2 = 5 m Now, as the tent is in the conical form Volume of the conical tent = πr2 h/3 => (22 x 5 x 5 x 3) / (7 x 3) = 22 x 25/7 = 78.54 cu.m Given each person requires 3.92 cu.m of air => Number of persons can be seated in the tent = 78.54/3.92 = 20.03 =~ 20
