Solution
The correct option is A 3 Percolation rate is the amount of water that trickles into the soil in a given time. It is calculated as follows:
Percolation rate = Amount of water percolated(ml)Time taken(minutes)
Given, Amount of water taken: 150ml Time taken by water to percolate: 50min Percolationrate(ml/min)= AmountofwatertakenTimetakenbywatertopercolate=150ml50min =3ml/min
