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?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 20
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 =
=> (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
