Water in a canal 6 m wide and 2 m deep, is flowing with the speed of 18 km/h.

Statement (1): The volume of water that flows through the canal in 20 minutes = 6 x 2 x (18×518)\Big(18 \times \dfrac{5}{18}\Big) x 20 x 60 m3.

Statement (2): The volume of water that flows through the canal = 6 x 2 x 18 x 20 m3.

  1. Both the statement are true.

  2. Both the statement are false.

  3. Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

  4. Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Answer

Given, water in a canal 6 m wide and 2 m deep, is flowing with the speed of 18 km/h.

Volume of water flowing through the canal = Area of cross-section x speed x time

Area of cross-section = width × depth = (6 × 2) m2

Speed = 18 km/h = 18 × 10003600\dfrac{1000}{3600} = (18×518)\Big(18 × \dfrac{5}{18}\Big) m/sec

Time = 20 minutes = 20 × 60 sec

∴ Volume = 6 × 2 x 18 × 518\dfrac{5}{18} x 20 × 60 m3

Thus, Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
