A container is the shape of an inverted cone. Its height is \(6 \mathrm{~m}\) and radius is \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) at the top. If it is filled with water at the rate of \(3 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{min}\) then the rate of change of height of water (in \(\mathrm{mt} / \mathrm{min}\) ) when the water level is \(3 \mathrm{~m}\), is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{4 \pi}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{9 \pi}\)
  3. C \(16 \pi\)
  4. D \(2 \pi\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3}{4 \pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(V\) be the volume, \(r\) be the radius and \(h\) be the height of an inverted cone at any time \(t\). Then Given, \(\frac{d v}{d t}=3 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{min}\) We know that, From similarity of triangle…
