Q. Water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base of the tank. It is known that the rate at which the water level drops is proportional to the square root of water depth $y$, where the constant of proportionality $k>0$ depends on the acceleration due to gravity and the geometry of the hole. If $t$ is measured in minutes and $k=\frac{1}{15}$, then the time to drain the tank if the water is $4\text{m}$ deep to start with is

2. $45\text{min}$
3. $60\text{min}$
4. $80\text{min}$
